Solved Malaware keeps coming back, no matter what I do

[John Ph]

For some time now, malaware installs itself on my computer, and even when i remove it, it returns. I tried zenama, kapersky, hitman pro, malaware bytes, ESET but ik keeps coming back. Normally it says it's adware.elex, winsapsvc, BIT, etc

Sometimes, it install firefox and other random programs without my permission. And it's really frustating to have to remove malaware every so often.

I had to reeinstall chrome seeing that it was infected with malaware but i reeinstalled it and it's all good with chrome now.

Your help and advice is deeply appreciated. If there is anything that needs to be un installed please do let me know.

Good thursday,

I'm sorry to say that the malaware returned, and i really don't know what to do now. I did nothing and it still came back.
What should i do?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

What has returned?

 

[John Ph]

I think it's better if i just send you the scan logs from malaware and adwcleaner, as they pretty much sum i t all.

Here is the Fixlog you asked for.

Just a quick side note: When the malaware instals itself, most of the times it disables the UAC settings for some reason. And so I have to remove the malaware again and put the setting the way they were before. And then my computer is fine for 5 to 6 days. And suddenly, after that period, when i turn on my computer, Zemana starts telling i have all these files that are malaware, and I have to repeat the process all over again. Do you have any clues on why that happens?

Thank you.

How is the situation now?

I mean, so far so good but i fear that the malaware will come back and i really don't want to bother you more than I already have
