Re: What are these registry keys

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...
