It's at 48%...running pretty slow, I'm guessing because it's badly infected. "A variant of Win32/Adware Yontoo application"

I forgot to check a couple of the advanced settings (° Scan potentially unwanted applications
° Scan for potentially unsafe applications) though...I hope that's ok. I can rescan it again later.
It's at 75% now
Ok so I finished the IE and Chrome scans and they each had 13 threats... I attached both the scan results to this message. What do I next to actually remove these adware threats? I'm installing Ad-Aware and Malware Bytes..
And going back to my Windows folder being 21 gb, most of the gb being used up are in the winsxs folder. Is there a way to remove files from it?
I would also like to transfer the Users folder over to the E: drive because it's taking up another 13 gb of space.

When the installation is done uncheck Enable free trial of Malwarebytes (see image below )
Update the definitions and do a full scan
On the Scanner tab:
Make sure the "Perform Full Scan" option is selected.
Then click on the Scan button.
If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.
Ok I'm installing them and running now.
So I think I removed all the infections now using those programs you listed. Thanks for all your help VistaKing, really appreciate it. Now if I can just figure out how to transfer my User folder to my E: and reduce the size of my Windows folder...
