now try MBAM & see if it works

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop
from HERE or HERE

Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:

Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Then click Finish.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Press Update to make sure the latest database is loaded.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When completed, a log will open in Notepad.
Please include this log in your next reply.

It might ask you to reboot to finish cleaning. Please do so. ( Press YES on the alert) 
If you receive an (Error Loading xxxxxxxxxx .dll) error on reboot please reboot a second time . It is normal for this error to occur once and does not need to be reported unless it continues on every boot

Upon the first attempt to install, I received an error code: 702 (0, 453) message. I attempted a second install, was told it was in progress and I needed to restart to continue. Start menu > says 'turn off' because of needed updates. I selected that instead of restart. Turn off computer, wait a bit, then turn it back on. Everything is working fine... Yeay!

Ran update, then quick scan. No detected infections, no reboot needed. Thanks!

Here's the quick scan log (performed after updating to db version 3469):
