When SpySweeper attempted to remove the items it found, it gave a message stating that some items couldn't be removed until I restarted my computer. It then asked if I wanted to restart now. Fearing I would lose the session log if I did, I clicked on no. I saved the session log and then restarted my computer. When it restarted there was an error message indicating that removal failed, but the message went away so quickly I never had a chance to read it. The computer started normally after that, and here is the session log:
