You're welcome, glad to be of help. :) As far as I can see your computer is now clean of infection, and it's time to remove the programs we've been using to clean your machine.

First

Let's clear out OTL and the files and folders it created.
  • Double click OTL.exe to launch the programme.
  • Click on the CleanUp! button.
  • OTL will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programmes alerts you, allow it access.
  • You will be prompted to allow the clean up procedure, click Yes
  • When finished exit out of OTL
  • Now delete OTL.exe (if still present).


Next

Let's clear out ADWCleaner and the files and folders it created.

  • Double click AdwCleaner.exe to run it.
  • Click Uninstall.
  • Click Yes to the prompt.
  • AdwCleaner will close and uninstall itself


Note: If AdwCleaner prompts you an update is available, click Cancel and continue to uninstall.

Next

Please go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program and Uninstall the following:

Tweaking.com Registry Backup


Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.
