Glad I could help. Posted logs appear cleans and show no signs of active infection. You should be good to go ...   
As I told you, you have a lot of adds for both browsers. All these may be removed and left browsers clean. Reseting to defaults should help as well.

We're gonna remove my used tools now as well as carry out some further cleaning and security settings. To learn more about how to protect yourself I'll give you a few tips for reading. 



The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:



---     ---     ---     ---     ---
To uninstall and remove AdwCleaner:
  • Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool;
  • Click on Uninstall and Confirm with Yes
---     ---     ---     ---     ---



It is necessary to uninstall ComboFix :

  • Click Start (or ) then Run.
    On Windows7 or Vista you may use Start Search field if Run is not available.

  • In the line of text type in (Copy) the following:
Code: [Select]
ComboFix /Uninstall
    Note that there is a space between " ComboFix " and " /Uninstall " .

    • then click OK (or press Enter ).
    Wait for the uninstall process is complete. This will uninstall ComboFix. It will also implement some cleanup procedures and reset System Restore to prevent reinfection from old restore points.


    ---     ---     ---     ---     ---


    Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

    Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
    Remove disinfection tools
    Create registry backup
    Purge System Restore

    Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
    At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

    The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
    Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.





    Tip: Do not use security tools such as ComboFix, FRST, Zoek and the like. These are advanced security tool, should not be used without supervision.

    Learn how to protect yourself:



    =>  In order to stay protected it is very important that you regularly update all of your software and Windows Operating System.

    It is important that you visit Windows Update regularly.
    How to configure and use Automatic Updates in Windows

    It's vital that you keep all your software up-to-date as older versions may have some security vulnerabilities. Keeping Java and Adobe update is priority.
    Download and install latest version of Java
    Download and install latest version of Adobe Reader




    =>  I recommend that you use one of the fantastic opportunities provided by avast! AntiVirus.

    For security protection, an active AntiVirus is required. If you want to reinforce your security setup I recommended additional security software and utilities:
    Download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and perform 'Threat Scan' from time to time. Malwarebytes will detect and remove all traces of known malware.
    Download and install MCShield Anti-Malware Tool to prevent infections transmitted via removable drives.
    Download and install Unchecky to keeps your checkboxes clear by preventing installing additional adware and other PUP bad software.
    Download and install AdBlock for safe web browser surfing without annoying and malicious advertising ads.
