Start with adware cleaner.
Just let the FRST fix run on it's own allow it to complete.
No it will not.
Not a problem.
If the fix will not run complete then run it in safe mode. Tap F8 key after restarting the computer.

Also, run a scan with Malwarebytes, you will need this older version but the database is still viable.
Once installed do not install the new version as it will prompt you.
Click on scan then make sure threat scan is checked.
Then hit the start scan button.
Once complete make sure all detected items are checked.
Then click quarantine selected.
Then click export summary then copy to clipboard, post it here.

Back again. Good news is i already have malwarebytes anti-malware. I installed it several years ago. I ran that when you suggested adcleaner. It asked about updates but like you said, it wont update but i gues the older version i downloaded years ago ran and if i remember right from earlier today it scanned about 312,000 files and it didnt find any objects. I can run it again if you want to be sureIf the fix will not run complete then run it in safe mode. Tap F8 key after restarting the computer.

And, i did what you said on the FRST. I typed downloads in the command box and a Big list of downloads appeared. I found it and right clicked and ran as admin. It didnt take long at all this time. It said fixing complete and you will need to restart because FRST and i think FUBAR are in the same place. I restarted and here i am
Install and run a scan with the version I posted. Just do a threat scan please.
Then run this version of adware cleaner.
Also, how is your computer running now?

Im going to do the adcleaner tomorrow and the other malware. Im exhausted. Its working a little better. One of the sites that wouldnt connect just connected. But another one still wont connect. But it works in Chrome for now. Can i try opera again after the adcleaner? Also, i noticed that the sound is much louder on videos since the fix. Thanks and talk tomorrow. I did just do another malware scan and no detected objects found.
Ok, you need to install the version I posted, the one you have the database will not update, and you are using old definitions.
This is also the version of adware cleaner you need.
Let's make sure you are clean then you can download whatever browser you want.
You can also go into your downloads folder and drag adware cleaner and FRST to your desktop. I will be at work tomorrow, so my replies will be limited until the evening.
Is it ok for me to shut down the comp tonight? Im amazed at how loud the sound is now.
Yes it's no problem we have some work to do yet, but we will get it optimized after the malware is gone for certain, we are almost there. 
Thanks so much for your help.Yes it's no problem we have some work to do yet, but we will get it optimized after the malware is gone for certain, we are almost there.
When you get around to this again, post the fixlog from FRST.
Open command prompt as before.
Windows key and R type CMD hit Ok.
Then in the command prompt copy and paste the command below, and hit enter.
This will move the fixlog to your desktop.
Open it copy and then paste it here.

Question. Do you use AOL and Yahoo messenger?
I see some programs that could be uninstalled, these can go if you do not use them. But let’s run adware cleaner and the newer version of malwarebytes that I sent you the link for first.

Yes quarantine all detected items in adware cleaner, then install the new version of malwarebytes I sent the link for and run a threat scan. I will have a more detailed reply after work
Please also download and run the junk ware removal tool.
