    Lets start afresh

    You posted a HIJACK THIS log (Which details whats running at any given moment)

    Ive not seen any malwarebytes logs (Which removes nasties such as trojans and malware)

    So im going to assume you havnt run malwarebytes -
    Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
    Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM QUICK SCAN then click SCAN
    Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
    Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
    If anything was found then do the exact same but run a FULL scan
    :idea:

    there is rarely anything personal in the log, there are 1000's already on this site, if there is you will get advice to edit it. comodo do antivirus and firewall, it should be obvious from the interface what you have

    No, your post 21 refers to the 'HJL' log (which I presume meant HJT?) which for some reason you have now deleted. No sign of the MBAM log.
    Removing AVG and McAfee was quite correct, but there will still be traces left that will probably stop you installing any other AV.

    Open malwarebytes, goto LOGS and post the WHOLE of the original log

    Using the removal tools. Info on those will be provided once the other logs have been analysed and any other necessary action suggested.
    As I said, one thing at a time!

    Links to remove in post#22 - commodo internet security is your antivirus,surely? not just firewall, this was listed in hjt log , probably needs updating.
    Glad your pc is running better -it was most likely the mywebsearch stuff that was the problem.
    Did you disable unnecessary stuff from starting using ccleaner/tools/startup ?
