    Your desktop will temporarily disappear when you do this - it'll return on reboot.

    Download OTM and save it to your Desktop.

    http://www.itxassociates.com/OT-Tools/OTM.exe
    • Right click OTM.exe & choose "Run as Administrator" to run it.
    Copy all of the following code inside the codebox below. Do not include the word Code:
    :Reg
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{28387537-e3f9-4ed7-860c-11e69af4a8a0}]
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{2eecd738-5844-4a99-b4b6-146bf802613b}]

    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste instructions for Items to be Moved window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
    • Push the large MoveIt! button.
    • OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please click ok & allow it do so if asked.
    • The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot. Copy/paste the contents of that report back here in your next reply.

    Ok, it seems as though it worked then.

    Can you still not access Windows Update?

    No, I don't think so. To be honest I can't see what the problem was. The FSS scan you ran showed no problems with Windows Update. There was errors in the DSS log for Windows Update though.

    At least the computers had a good checkup and should run better without that junk you had installed.

    Re-run DDS again and post the log to check everything has gone (DDS.txt - no need for attach.txt this time) - You can do this tomorrow if you want, it's getting late - It's up to you. :)

    It wouldn't hurt to update & run a quick scan with Malwarebytes too.

    If you've still got DDS on your desktop, just double click it.
