    Malwarebytes will give you the option at the end of the scan of what you want to do. You need to choose the option, as if you don't the things that it found will NOT be removed.

    I would also consider changing your anti-virus program if it found that many infections as yours is not protecting your computer.

    I have 2 possible fixes for you 1: Try running safe mode and scanning/removing 2; Do an offline repair - remove youf HDD and place it in another system as an additional drive and scan it that way

    It does. Just read what it says when it comes up with the final results and you will see that it offers to remove any viruses it has found.

    A great piece of software by the way. Keep it updated.
