The only mention of Ccleaner was by the OP and he didn't say he was using it to remove malware. As for That bunch of gobble de gook above I think us mere mortals need that lot translated into something we can understand.
The reason why I mentioned it was because many people post about it in malware help threads.
"But, but, I used Ccleaner!"
Unreal. And these people also think MSE is an adequate enough anti-virus.
Anti-virus - Avast the free version, modified for tighter security.
Malwarebytes Pro - I got it before they went to yearly subscriptions. It is life time.
You do not won't to overlap anti-virus software. They will work against each other. Unless you use Malwarebytes as a scanner only.
I can tell you right now that Herdprotect portable will most likely find more crap. It uses 68 anti-virus engines in the cloud so it's like Virus Total for your Comp. But with that the risk of false positives is great, so you need to research anything found you think might not be suspicious.
I'm a person who doesn't believe in trends and I don't follow the mainstream norms. Everyone and their uncle it seems wants to rely on Malwarebytes, Avast and Ccleaner. My answer to that is Herdprotect portable, Bitdefender Free and System Ninja. But each their their own. Some people use Glary Utilities, but I thought it was convoluted and overstuffed bytes. And I don't "Google" anything, I DuckDuck Go my crap.

Translation:
Heed the advice of someone who's reached the far corners of the net, on and off the dark side and has NEVER gotten a malware infection and has tossed about 500 MB of malware at the products I wrote about.
It's as if you're saying I don't know what I'm talking about, but I bet you I can infect your computer as an experiment if you let me on your Comp with Team Viewer. Your so-called "protection" is null and void in terms of polymorphic malware protection.
The future of malware protection is thorough sandboxing/virtualization.
