Hi L3Nerd,
 
You have clicked the wrong option for AdwCleaner, you have selected the option to scan instead of clean. Please try again, and this time, remember to select the clean option and post the log.
 
I noticed that your MalwareBytes protection are off, did you disable that yourself? If not, please try the steps described in this page to rectify the issue. In any case that it didn't work, you can follow the steps described in MBAM Clean Removal Process (Look under the steps described for Free version) to uninstall and reinstall Malwarebytes. Let me know if it works for you.
 
Are you having any trouble updating Avast! and Windows Defender? I noticed that it is still outdated for now.
