Here is the adware report.
The computer is functioning well, with the exception that we still have Tuvaro coming up with Firefox. We don't have to use Firefox. Also we still have one account on the computer that doesn't have access to the internet (we get an error that says unable to connect to proxy server). But, we don't have use that user account on the computer.

Thanks for all your help. That did allow me to reset the proxy server for that user.

Also, I realized that I could probably eliminate the Tuvaro homepage on Firefox issue by uninstalling and then re-installing Firefox--and that worked too.
