How is it running now ?
Try running JRT To remove those last two files if they are there . [ Junk File Remover].
https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHRNd33dPrs-cHoNHpoRrPrc0h7gg
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.
Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.

I haven't really used the HP for anything yet. I'v just been getting it ready to use. I still use my PC 99.99% of the time. All I've done with this HP notebook is load Avast, REVO, IrfanView Malwarebytes, Hijack This and Superantispyware.
The problems appear from removing McAfee. I must have done something wrong deleting it's remnants.
Now the left click doesn't work on the start icon. Also, the connection icon moved into the hidden icon location on the task bar, but I drug it back down.
I think it would be simpler to restore the computer to its original condition and just start over.
I bough notebook this as a backup for my PC, not something to use on a regular basis unless the PC croaks.

That is up to you . I would run JRT first , and download and run Combofix.

I hadn't removed OTL yet, so I started it back up and removed it......... those two files I showed are gone now too.
Hi ho, hi ho.......... Customer is gone for the weekend, so I'm gonna go move appliances and put some floor down so I get em back in place by Monday morning when he gets home. I'm not doing anything more today on the notebook.
Maybe tonight when I get back.

Those two lines of code came from running it through the CMD Line ..
If you ever want to remove cleaning software ,
1. This step will remove all cleaning tools we used, it'll reset restore points (so you won't get reinfected by accidentally using some older restore point) and it'll make some other minor adjustments...
This is a very crucial step so make sure you don't skip it.
Download 51a5ce45263de-delfix.pngDelFix by Xplode to your desktop. http://redirect.viglink.com/?format...<strong class="bbc">DelFix by Xplode</strong>
Delfix will delete all the used tools and logfiles.
Double-click Delfix.exe to start the tool.
Make sure the following items are checked:
Activate UAC (optional; some users prefer to keep it off)
Remove disinfection tools
Create registry backup
Purge System Restore
Reset system settings
Now click "Run" and wait patiently.
Once finished a logfile will be created. You don't have to attach it to your next reply.
2. Make sure Windows Updates are current.

Yup, and I got it 50% off MSRP from the Make America Great Again website.
I realized shortly after buying the notebook that the operating system and installed HP crap takes up 80% of the tiny HD. OK, really 21.7 used and 6.12 free. If you set a restore point you lose a lot of space. I do have one set now by OTL.
I'm guessing that's why this notebook came with the restore point turned off.

I'm working today, so not going to go there yet.
How do I delete event viewer errors list so I can start from scratch? It's added up over 17,000 errors since i turned the confuzer on 15 minutes ago.
....... all of them are those same event ID numbers, so I'm now past 103,000 errors in the past week, 87,000+ in the past 24 hours.
I been investigatin'
Here's when the errors all started..... During an Upgrade. I tried to shut down the confuzer and it didn't want to........ then the screen came up with "installing upgrade, do not turn computer off........... so I waited and waited. It finally completed but stopped completing at some point so I restarted it and it finished.
........I recall it was around 12AM when I went to bed, and that's the time of the "Upgrade" (looks like downgrade to me)
Check the times and how they coincide with the start of the errors.
Here are the starting time of the errors.
The time and dates of the upgrade files.
Then, what's inside the Upgrade Folder.
Hope this helps.
Maybe I can undo the upgrade?
I gotta go.
