Hi,


Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.

• Click on the Scan button.
  
• After the scan has finished click on the Clean button.

Press OK when asked to close all programs and follow the onscreen prompts.
Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.

• After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[S0].txt) will open automatically.
  
• Post logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool by Farbar and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  
• Under Optional Scan ensure "List BCD" and "Driver MD5" are ticked.
  
• Press Scan button.
  
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

You really need to do all this?  I had the spigot  search protection on my machine and simply uninstalled it with Ccleaner and then ran the registry cleaner. It was then gone from the browser and a subsequent check with Malwarebytes found no remnants.

if you check his Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner logs you will see that his computer is/was a PUP/Adware city ...
