I have no idea what happened, but I doubt it is related only to Adwcleaner. People do all kind of things on their own even when there are warnings not to and I can't always know what happened.

I see you have some restore points available, see if this helps:

12-02-2017 13:53:18 zoek.exe restore point
12-02-2017 14:22:05 zoek.exe restore point
12-02-2017 16:36:06 Installed Intel(R) Network Connections.
12-02-2017 16:38:50 Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) - 12.0.30501
