Looks like safe with nw did the trick. Same two elements were identified, but this time the removal process included a step "cleaning chrome", which definitely wasn't in any of the other scans.

Below are two log files -- first is the one generated after removal of two unwanted...
Ran v7. This time only found two elements -- same file "PUP.LEGACY.OPTIONAL". Computer restarted after I clicked clean/remove option. When I ran scan again, same two objects were found.

Thanks again for all the help.
Thanks. 10 reg keys are still detected.

Hello,
Microsoft Edge is the web browser I used to try to download AdwCleaner multiple times.
I do not actually know how to attach screenshots here, unfortunately.
I've also tried to download it in Google Chrome, but it says that "This app has been blocked for your protection."
