Logs from malware removal programs (OTL is one of them) can take some time to analyze. I need you to be patient while I analyze any logs you post. Please remember, I am a volunteer, and I do have a life outside of these forum, (sometimes )
Attention to detail is important! Since I cannot see or directly interact with your computer I am dependent on you to "be my eyes" and provide as much information as you can regarding the current state of your computer.
Do not waste your time. If do not follow QUAD's instructions to the letter, he will leave and he said so, "I am now finished with this removal, The user did not follow instructions in at least 3 settings or location."
Sorry man! I think dickevans has some forums you could try! I think bleepingcomputer.com was one of them. If you search his old posts you can find them!

You are right I didnt know It was a big difference. Obviously im not tech savy or I wouldn't be asking for help here. I came here to find a solution to an issue but I succeeded in making a fool of myself. Quads not sure if you still want to help or not otherwise I will look somewhere else
"You are right I didnt know It was a big difference" It is not up to a user to think what would make a difference or not, so do their own instructions.
Not following instructions makes a difference to for tools to a point the likes of a BSOD and windows rebooting can have a problem or tools try and delete themselves during the process.
