Ok great! How is your PC now?
Look through the programs and uninstall the ones you don't need.Also, if you installed software that you no longer use, uninstall it.
After that run a CCleaner cleaning run.You can install the current latest CCleaner here
http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup502.exe
and then, defrag your drives.

Can you please scan this .exe file with VirusTotal?
It looks Office 2010 process, http://www.addictivetips.com/window...process-delete-document-cache-in-office-2010/
Please reset your host with : http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/hosts-permbat/
and this Mysoynce.exe process is not malicious, please read the that I gave you before, it is Microsoft Office 2010
You are free-of-malware now
There is no need to run JRT now, we ran AdwCleaner Stay safe! and please read this!
- Stay away from warez (pirated software), keygens, and programs from P2P.
- Install your Windows updates (e.g. software updates, security fixes, patches, service packs).
- Back up your important data regularly.
- Keep your software updated.
- Use a reputable antivirus program. (You have Avira )
- Do not open email attachments from unknown sources or files sent through an instant messenger.
- Only download software from trusted sources (e.g. FileHippo, SnapFiles).
- Use strong passwords. Passwords should be a minimum of eight characters and contain uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (!,@, #, &, %, *).
- Disable unnecessary plug-ins in your web browser. This will help keep you safe from malicious scripts and activeX exploits.
- Use a secure DNS service such as OpenDNS.
- Do not believe every virus warning you receive; many are hoaxes and scareware.
- Remain as anonymous as possible. Do not give out your full name, address, phone number, or other personal information to anyone you do not know or who doesn’t have a legitimate need for it (in person, over the phone, via email, or the Internet).
- Turn off your computer or log off when you're not using it.
- Replace programs that have a bad security track record (e.g. IE, Outlook, Adobe Reader).

I thought it was malicious since it was getting update over and over , Making my cursor get a spinning animation/loading for no reason.
I at true , Dont even open links that arent from safety , Since i play tf2 , And trade , Which means sometimes people try to use phsishing links at me.
I've installed the bird browser , And going to test it.

Elemec, this has been quite an exciting configuration / malware removal thread. yigido is indeed a "Trusted Member", and your parents should be much happier too!!
Thank you for sharing your dilemma as well as your configuration.
I agree with frogboy's & Maxim's suggestions, and encourage using CCleaner daily. It is safe, and is also considered a privacy software. Having a back up image of your system and saving valuable (treasured) pictures and files is a good practice. I've been using the free version Macrium Reflect.
Download only from the trusted sites of developers or safe sites like softpedia.com
Does the dragon browser your using provide sandboxing?
If not, you and your parents can add an extra virtual layer of protection with Sandboxie free.

Comodo dragon has a virtual mode , That is like an enchached version of Comodo's firewall run virtually , Specifically for travel the internet.
I believe the comodo dragon virtual mode is stronger than sandboxie , And i already have the autosandbox from comodo firewall , So nevermind now.
