Okay, here's the rundown of the programs, but your category is wrong. These are should be grouped into a Malware Cleaning grouping, not virus or security:
* Viewpoint killer> >

* The Avenger>>

* Gmer>>

* Oldtimer>>

* Atribune temp file cleaner (ATF)>>

* RSIT (random systems information tool)>>

*Combo fix >>

You're welcome. No brilliance though- just some patient searching.

The word 'malware' has become the descriptive word to include viruses, Trojans, Worms, pests, spyware, adware and anything else that gets on the system without out permission and causes problems. Some don't realize that spyware and adware can also play havoc with a system- it's not limited to 'virus.'

Many of us were in the Virus/Worm>Trojan years. But as spyware and adware became more plentiful and also more disabling, some began to realize that there was more to system security that just an antivirus program.

The first recorded use of the term "spyware" is said to have occurred on October 16, 1995.

It wasn't until 2001 that Steve Gibson, founder of Gibson Research discovered that advertising software had been installed on his system. It appeared to him that the sole purpose was to steal personal information from him.

The word 'malware' came the joining of the beginning of the word 'malicious' and the end of the word 'software' around 1998 when it was determined that a broader designation was needed. We now use the word malware to include any software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent.

As the coding in the malware became more sophisticated, so did the need for more specific cleaning programs. A simple antivirus program might tell a user that he had 'malware' but if it was spyware or adware, it wouldn't remove it. And malware is written in the same law of humans- survival of the fittest. Just like out human viruses become immune to certain drugs after a while, then mutate to survive, so do the computer viruses and malware. So a program that at one time might have removed it, now finds it cannot because it has 'changed', so new update are issued.

A malware cleaning program such as Malwarebytes will not only find but will also remove malware if this is followed: "Be sure that everything is checked, and click 'Remove Selected." So the malware will show in the log, along with the words 'quarantined and deleted 'or 'delete on reboot' OR 'no action taken' depending on how the user ran the program.

The best way to understand the various programs is first to read information about what they do and instructions, then run them yourself.

I can't help you with the Registry keys. That is one area I prefer to stay out of when possible.
