You've got a few baddies showing there.

-- Looks like you installed Comodo AV. Is it functioning properly?
-- What is this? --> C:\Program Files\ESTsoft\ALYac I've not seen it before.

FIRST:
Look in Add / Remove Programs and Remove/Uninstall the following crapware:
C:\Program Files\RXToolBar
C:\Program Files\SpySpotter3
C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch

THEN:
Please run the steps listed in the linky below and submit the requested scanlogs:

Read me before posting a request for assistance
  • Please post the DSS extra.txt as an attachment to your post using the “Manage Attachments” button (scroll down when composing your post).
  • Hold off on posting the Uninstall List. The DSS extra.txt ought to suffice.


Let us know if you run into any problems with the above steps.
I or one of the other volunteers will be happy to help as time permits. I'm a bit over-extended at the moment, but will try to reply in a timely manner if nobody else jumps in.

Best Luck
