Not so good video. It should be than better.

  1. First you should disable Startup applictions with Msconfig or Task Manager or CCleaner (Tools->Startup).
  2. Then boot in Safe Mode
  3. Run this tools Rkill and run HitmanPro in Force Breach Mode
  4. Then run other tools
  5. ...

This way you doing double things when malware is set to run every time you restart PC.

The file description is the same however there is a difference in file size, therefore it appears that either the version in the second screenshot has been pumped (e.g. null bytes to boost the file size - very unlikely) or just contains more code, which implies that the one from the first screenshot is outdated, even if the version number is the same (or appears to be).

I just my 2 cents
- scan with zemana, Custom scan of C: drive
- perform adwclener and JRT
those should clean up to 90% those adwares, no need for other apps
then if something still persists, use iobit uninstaller :)
Everything search engine can be used to quickly search for leftovers

I don't like HMP cuz it's a paid/trial product

Thanks for all the feedback & different view/opinions but as a response to this:

Yes I could have gone into Safe Mode but the whole idea of the video was to be a guide of how to remove Adware just using applications without going into Safe Mode - many inexperienced users cannot reach Safe Mode, some are even scared too :)

I understand your point but considering that I was able to pretty much clean the system without booting into Safe Mode I think the video is fine how it is. This video also took 4+ hours to make - 1 hour to record, 1 hour to script, 1 hour to record the audio, 1 hour ish to edit.... I'm not going to remake it just for one person.

1.Safe boot is so easy, you should show them/teach them so they know (purpose of video is to people learn something)
Two pictures to go in safe mode:

2.If you had done in the SAFE MODE finished it much sooner (15-20min)

Britec a Youtuber with 151000 subscribers didn't go into Safe Mode either:

Yes I could have gone into Safe Mode but if you can clean your PC without booting into Safe Mode then there's no need to go into Safe Mode. This is my opinion, you have yours - I understand your point but am just saying that there is no need to go into Safe Mode.
