Even then:

AdwCleaner can't remove Program Files (x86)\MPC Cleaner

I got infected with loads of adware after trying to install SUPER file converter.

I have run Windows Defender to remove trojans and a malware installer.

Whichever Prinicpal I give Full Control, there is always some other Principal's permission lacking to delete Program Files (x86)\MPC Cleaner.

Running AdwCleaner isn't managing to do so either.  Log file: https://up2sha.re/file?f=4pnRQn2e5du8...

Yes, sure. It seems to me like it tries to rid of the items found, but they are untrusted and should be there. In addition, when I just let it do its automatic thing, upon reboot, in Firefox the No-Script was completely reset and I have to allow again for each new site I visit.
