Parent's Computer Infected with adware, Still Infected

When it was infected by the adware

I ran
Malwarebytes Scan
Adwcleaner
JRT
then reset internet settings
deleted all junky programs that were uneeded

(there is hijackthis on there, but I didn't use it as I don't know how)

I ran an FRST scan after this so these logs are up to date with no changes made after the logs were posted

FRST Logs: http://pastebin.com/uXH8ghM2
Addition Logs: http://pastebin.com/15rRm3Tq

(Set to expire in a week)

After all I did, the adware or worse is still on there.

Thanks
If the adware is gone, you should be good. You went a bit overkill with the software, so I'm almost 100% it's gone.

Just wanting to make sure there aren't any more problems with the PC

like hidden malware or anything out of the ordinary.

Still get some ads popped on a new page on occasion but not as excessive as before the scans
There are still some remnants of AdWare.
C:\Program Files\shopperz20072015\Rofdhowal.exe (I recommend deleting the directory)

lel.exe is located in %APPDATA%
Not sure why its there, but I'm sure you can remove it without harm to the system.
Still need help with this

Getting a few pop up's still where they shouldn't be
The core of your problem is (imo) your cracked software. As long as you keep it, I don't think that cleaning will have much effect (is your OS legally activated?). I could still attempt to clean the computer, though.

Please read through the points below to ensure this process moves as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • Ensure you read through my instructions thoroughly, and carry out each step in the order specified.

  • Please do not run any tools or take any steps other than those I provide for you. Independent efforts may make matters worse, and will affect my ability in providing the best set of instructions for you.

  • Please backup important files before proceeding with my instructions. Malware removal can be unpredictable at times.

  • If you come across any issues whilst following my instructions, please stop and inform me of the issue in as much detail as possible. Please do not hesitate to ask before proceeding.

  • I will notify you when I believe your computer is free of malware. Please bear in mind, absence of symptoms does not necessarily correlate to absence of malware, so please wait until the "All Clean".

Only thing that was cracked was the microsoft word, that has been there for over a year now.

Everything else was legitimate, the OS is legitimate

This might be a MITM attack since in my previous experience running
Malwarebytes Scan
Adwcleaner
JRT
then reset internet settings
deleted all junky programs that were uneeded
should get rid of 99% of adware.
What's your DNS settings on the infected computer?
Can be found by writing ipconfig /all
Also, how does your hosts file look like?

This is already shown by the given logs.
How do you want to fight malware if you don't even read the initial post properly?

Sorry, just went through the post quickly and didn't read the logs and that's what came up on my mind.
I ran that fixlog and am going on the sites i usually use to make sure its gone
Please post the fixlog. We are not done yet. I included diagnostic instructions to it as well.
Edit: Also let me know how things are doing now.
