Okay, Thanks alot for the help, you guys are great! I will mark this topic as solved.
One more thing, should I erase my device management attachment? Or is it okay to keep it up. I don't know if it contains any sensitive information. | My System Specs |

Malwarebytes.com
There is nothing sensitive in that screen shot.
Re malwarebytes: You configure it similarly to MSE. BUT---it does not provide real-time protection---which means you must periodically do manual scans--say weekly.
Update its virus definitions BEFORE you do a scan.
If you are willing to spend between 15 and 25 bucks you can get the Pro version of malwarebytes which has these advantages:
1: it does protect in real time, just like MSE
2: it updates automatically, like MSE
3: you can set it up to scan according to a schedule, like MSE.
You can buy PRO for 25 maximum from malwarebytes.com. If your google skills are slick, you can probably find a discount coupon on the web. Newegg occasionally sells it for 12 to 15 bucks.
The free version is fine, but it lacks those 3 features.
Do you have Windows Service Pack 1 installed? Be sure to get Windows updates on a regular basis. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

I am back with a few questions. I want to do some troubleshooting tomorrow.
1. I am having some mouse troubles. It double-clicks when I only want it to single click. Like if I press back it goes back two pages, if I do online shopping and want to to put something in my cart, I click and it puts two of the item in my cart, or if I click to open a new tab it opens two. I thought before it was the trojan doing this, now after the reinstall it seems to be something else. Any ideas on what to do?
2. I bought the Pro version of Malwarebytes. I read online that it could clash with MSE since they both use real time protection, Is this true? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspirion zino HD OS Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium X64 Internet Speed DSL |

Regarding Malwarebytes Pro----no, that is not true.
I have been using both Malwarebytes Pro and MSE with no issues for a couple of years.
It is generally true that 2 realtime applications can conflict, but not in this case. They complement each other.
Regarding the mouse issue---have you investigated the mouse controls in Windows control panel? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

Okay, good to know thanks.
No, I have not. The mouse was working fine and then started doing the double-clicking thing again today. What settings is is supposed to be on in the Control Panel? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspirion zino HD OS Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium X64 Internet Speed DSL |

I suppose certain mice have different controls than others.
But for mine, I have a control panel setting for "double click speed". There is also a setting in Windows Explorer tools/folder options where you can choose single click or double click to open a folder. These may or may not help you. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;
