My son usually uses this computer for watching youtube and surfing the internet. He tends to click on anything and tends to junk up the computer, but this time I can not get it totally removed. I removed/deleted/quarantined everything that adwcleaner, Junkware removal tool, malwarebytes and hitman found when I scanned the computer today. I am not very computer savvy and I don't know what to do. I was going to just reload the whole computer because it is used for nothing more than surfing the web but I don't have a restore disc so I don't know how. Thanks for any help!
Cannot entirely remove safesear.ch as homepage

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.
Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

- Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
- Press Scan button.
- It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
- The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
Here are the files. I had run this program right before I posted my original thread so I have the addition.txt but it is from the 21st. I am attaching it though.

Download attached fixlist.txt on the same location as FRST (otherwise the fix won't work)
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to the operating system
Open FRST, and click Fix. Attach me that report after it is finished.

just to confirm. I am saving the fixlist.txt to the desktop where the application and the other text file are located and then I am going to open the application and click fix?
