You shouldn't run more than one antivirus. At best you'll see a degradation in system performance as both do the same job, at worst you'll experience conflicts that could crash the entire system.0

Then just uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials through programs & features.

You also need to update Adobe Reader & Java. These programs can be exploited to facilitate the download and installation of malware with little or no interaction from yourself.

Uninstall Adobe Reader 8.1.2
Install the latest version from here (Uncheck the Mcafee Security scan): http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Also uninstall Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1
Install the latest version here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Finally, after that run DDS once more & post the new logs.0 -

Adobe Reader is a bit 'heavy duty', perhaps FoxitReader instead.0 -
Yes, Foxit would be a good alternative to Adobe Reader, so long as that version is uninstalled - Support for 8x ended some time ago now (Nov 2011).0

Version 5.4.3.0920 is the latest version I have without the Toolbar added.0
