Try running the scan in safe mode. There may very well be some system related files its infected. You can't modify those outside of safe mode.

The first thing you need to do is uninstall superantispyware since it is terribad. Malwarebytes is leagues better
  • Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode from HERE.
  • Close all programs and browsers.
  • Run it and click Scan.
  • When it is done scanning, click Cleaning.
  • Allow AdwCleaner to reboot your computer and when it does, a logfile appears. Post that here.

Trued this, the program didnt pick up the adware while in safe mode but it did when i returned to normal.

This.

But also your version of SAS is well out of date. What's the point?

What SAS found is just a remnant registry entry of an adware. It won't do anything
