i also stand with everybody here that is never run two AV simultaneously. One more thing windows add remove known to keep leftover of ununstalled software and AV's go very deep to the OS so when uninstalling AV always follow the guideline given by the vendor how to remove them properly because only they know how to remove them properly don't even use 3rd party uninstaller like revo to uninstall AV.

kimouette in the screenie of the MSE error, that hacktool keygen is something used to by pass the normal registration of a software product. Where ever it came from likely came a bot or trojan as well. not saying you are dishonest, but warez and hack sites are well know for drive-by downloads.
