Fake Minecraft game hijacked my laptop

[Highnliftedup]

A little young person in my house thought it was a good idea to dl a "free" version of minecraft. There was no actual game to play, and I have had countless problems with adware, popups, and warnings of viruses that need to be repaired. I have tried McAfee scan, uninstall & delete of apparent files, Windows restore, Malwarebytes scan, and removal of Chrome extensions.
I'm in over my head here, and removal/repair will be rewarded.

Hello,

FRST didn't finish correctly. Please run it again, check Addition.txt box and attach both Scan reports.

Thanks for your time and help-
I have the Addition.txt checked, at the point of extension scan I get the following:
AutoIt Error
Line 6851 (File "C:\Users\Laura\Desktop\FRST64.exe")
Error: Variable used without being declared

Uncheck Addition.txt and try to run Scan again. Attach fresh FRST report.

Ugh, sorry, Same error occurs at Chrome extensions

Delete current FRST version and download fresh one from this link:

Not sure if this will help, the problem is probably deeper than this but the Chrome extension visible is: "aPpSauve"
I keep removing it and it won't die.
Thanks!

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

I now have a new orange icon and an error msg that I cannot close.
