Lots of PUPS at my computer

I don't know what is going on here, but I am having a lot of PUPs in my computer, a lot of unwanted programs and stuff popping up once in a while and I don't know why they are coming

It started some time ago and at first it was once in a while (mostly I guess due to some update to a video editor I (used to) use). But now, it's nearly every day...

Is that somethign that came with some software I installed? Or they are using some 'exploit' or soemthign like that? So far, Avast, MBam or SUPERantispyware did not caught anything different like a malware.

Use the programs below to find and remove adware and malware. I know you said you have MBAM installed but

please rerun it using the settings below.

Use CCleaner to remove Temporary files, program caches, cookies, logs, etc. Use the Default settings. No need to use the

Registry Cleaning Tool...risky. Pay close attention while installing and UNcheck offers of toolbars....especially Google.

After install, open CCleaner and run by clicking on the Run Cleaner button in the bottom right corner.

CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download

• Once MBAM opens, when it says Your databases are out of date, click the Fix Now button.
• Click the Settings tab at the top, and then in the left column, select Detections and Protections, and if not already checked place a checkmark in the selection box for Scan for rootkits.
• Click the Scan tab at the top of the program window, select Threat Scan and click the Scan Now button.
• If you receive a message that updates are available, click the Update Now button (the update will be downloaded, installed, and the scan will start).
• When MBAM is finished scanning it will display a screen that displays any malware that it has detected.
• Click the Remove Selected button.
• MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files, MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so.
• While still on the Scan tab, click the link for View detailed log, and in the window that opens click the Export button, select Text file (*.txt), and save the log to your Desktop.
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can also be viewed by clicking the History tab and then selecting Application Logs.

POST THE LOG FOR  REVIEW.

Download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your desktop.

• Close all open programs and internet browsers.
• Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
• Click on Scan button.

• Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.

• download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.

Did all the removals. Only kepty SUPER because I use the 'basic' free version, but if you think it's good to be deleted as well, I will do it

You can keep it. It's just not as useful as it once was. MBAM is much better.

So...any other problems? Are ads gone?

So far, things are going well, no other 'sneaky' installations happened, but will wait if they appear again

Good plan...let me know if problem reappears.
