I would like to suggest for backup software Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper both have a good free and reliable version.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm currently awaiting help in the Malware removal forums for help in removing some adware, so, until then, I can't really see backing up an infected system as a good thing.

I currently have Avast and have a trial version of Malwarebytes doing active protection at this time.
Post edited with Macrium Reflect installed and added AVAST as a Real-Time Malware Protection software.

If you Avast Antivirus you should edit your post for the OS Firewall to Windows Firewall.
You could remove SAS and use MBAM as an on demand scanner.
You would be better served using something such as Zemana Antimalware alongside Avast in realtime.
If you go here you can get a 400 day license for ZAM Unlimited Giveaway - Zemana AntiMalware Premium
I would consider enabling Smartscreen.
Consider using uBlock Origin in place of ABD and also CCleaner and a password manager.
Thanks for sharing your config

Hello, thanks for your reply, I have edited my post to reflect your suggestions. I did have Zemana installed before you posted, so I just didn't update in a timely manner. Trying to catch up on some schoolwork, no thanks to my recent scare with some malware keeping me up all night fighting it.If you Avast Antivirus you should edit your post for the OS Firewall to Windows Firewall.

I do have Smartscreen enabled, was there somewhere on the Thread Fields that I was supposed to say that? And I will try uBlock. I do also use CCleaner, but I didn't know if that was something to state in a security setup.

I edited your config to include Smartscreen & CCleaner.
Both of these can be found in the Security Configuration outline in the below screenshots

Looks good to me! What is AdvScanner? I don't believe I have heard of it before.

I meant to type AdwScanner lol. Thanks for spotting that out.
I've edited the original post.
