Thanks for the feedback! I have made updates to UAC and I have added more details on my backups and additional antimalware.

Virus and Malware Removal Tools:

• I would remove Zemana as the newest version (3.0) is prone to false positives and it seems like their support isn't dedicated to the product anymore.
• HitmanPro (free version only detects malware; you need the paid version to remove), ESET Online Scanner (thorough but heavy), and Norton Power Eraser (very powerful but prone to false positives; for advanced users) are some alternatives you can install instead of Zemana.
