Ok, quite a bit in AdwCleaner - mostly conduit malware, looks like AdwCleaner restored the browser settings, but please double check that the home page, search engines, and toolbars have nothing related to conduit.
In other words - you should recognize the value for the home page, each toolbar, and the default search engine.
Remove or disable any toolbar or search engine that you're not sure of.
Also please check Control Panel -> Programs and features for anything conduit, including SearchProtect.
Uninstall any toolbar or application that you're not sure of.
Ask if you have questions.
Restart your machine in case there are any system operations pending

Double click the mbam-setup file on your desktop to install and run Malwarebytes (Mbam)
Answer YES to all authorization prompts and then follow the Mbam setup prompts.
Do not make any changes to default settings.
When the install is finished, verify that only the following two options have checkmarks,
change to match if necessary.
[a] Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware
[a] Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware
Make sure that there is NOT a checkmark next to:

The Mbam report file pops up in your text editor when Mbam has completed the removal process.
Select all of the text in the report (Ctrl+A) and paste the text in a new post on this thread.
NoteIf MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you are asked to restart the computer.
The restart is REQUIRED to allow Mbam to complete the removal of the malware.
Failure to restart means that the malware is still present on your machine.
You want to restart in Normal mode, not in Safe mode.
Replace the thermal paste on your processor, remove the heatsink fan first then remove the thermal paste that is on the CPU (if it gets some scratches it's okay, wont hurt it) or clean off the dust from your computer. I see your Hard Drive's temperature reach 43c.
