O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ZTgServerSwitch] C:\Program Files\support.com\client\lserver\server.vbs

Delete the following manually:

C:\Program Files\support.com< folder

Regarding the server.vbs file, read this first & you decide what you want to do.

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log plz.
