    Delete DDS.txt from your desktop and re-run DDS and post the new log.
    • Double click DDS to run it.
    • Uncheck the box attach.txt
    • Click Start
    • When it's finished, DDS will open one log:
    1. DDS.txt

    Save the report to your desktop.

    Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt and post it here

    Yes, it's installed and running - That looks better.

    Uninstall this:

    PC Utility Kit

    These types of programs are pretty much worthless.

    Then if your happy things are running well...
    • Right click AdwCleaner.exe & choose "Run as administrator" to run it.
    • If AdwCleaner prompts you an update is available, click Cancel
    • Click Uninstall.
    • Click Yes to the prompt.
    • AdwCleaner will close and uninstall itself

    You can delete DDS, dds.txt & attach.txt by right clicking and choosing delete.

    Then create a restore point and delete the old ones and you're done!

    Create a restore point: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/create-a-restore-point

    Delete all but the most recent restore point:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/delete-a-restore-point
