Hello Jack,
Thank you for the assistance. As requested, here all the logs you requested.
It is working much better now. I have not experienced any redirects. PC is running a bit sluggish, more than it was prior to bcminer. Please let me know what to do next.
Thanks

Good evening Jack:
I have completed all of the scans and attached are the logs except kaspersky. The file is too large. However, it came back clean with no errors and no detections
Things are working better now. No redicrecting, still a bit sluggish but working without any complaints.
Are there further steps I need to take?
