can you see the relevant processes in task manager? you could search the registry looking for the entries that execute those processes and delete them.

There's was this huge package of anti-virus/cleaning/etc. software called TRON. Maybe it's still updated.

Just use AdwCleaner to get rid of that shit and the next time don't be a fool and uncheck those bundleware tickboxes in software installers, or install this: unchecky.com

Make sure to read the instructions, it does a lot of stuff. Try it in safe mode if it doesn't fix everything on the first try.

Backup your files and clean install wangblows or install linux distro like xubuntu

You could try a process logger and pin them down that way but it's easier to back up what you need and do a clean install.
If you don't mind how did you get these two?

Just wipe everything and restore from one of your backups.

You are probably a windows user... Try installing Process Hacker from their official site. It's like task manager only that most processes cant bypass it. Use process hacker to kill those malicious pieces of shit... Delete them with regedit from your registry, delete them from Roaming delete them from program files.. Just everywhere you see that piece of shit
Adam Butler
don't use windows
Ryan Hernandez
Try microsoft.com
I don't know if it will help remove these but its worth a try.

Find the process name, right click to open the directory, end the process and delete the files and folder. If it doesn't let you delete, then write down the location and restart in safe mode, then try deleting again.
Alternatively try AdwCleaner, it's intended to remove PUPs and related crap, make sure to not accidentally delete your browser plugins though, you may wait to follow some YT guide to be safe.
Anyway, the best way is PREVENTION so if you stop being a nigger and carefully read what you're installing before clicking "Accept" or "Next" then you will never have to deal with PUPs and adware ever again. Installing only FOSS helps, use github and sourceforge only to download software, if a program you need isn't available there then look for a FOSS alternative, every software has a FOSS alternative if you search hard enough.
