    Re run Malwarebytes and this time right click on the program and select run as administrator. Then download and run adwcleaner and post the logs someone more knowledgeable will be along later

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/dl/125/

    And right click on that too and run as administrator.

    You need to choose to remove them at the end of the scan, not just leave them with 'no action taken'.

    post a hijackthis log when you've finished

    the quickest fix to sluggish on a newish machine, apart from uninstalling mcafee and accumulated toolbar/junk, is backup data, and factory restore.
