I did wonder if the embarrassing notice was related to firefox but was not unduly bothered as bookmarks fine but this list on left includes strokes, catheters atrial ablation!!!
I used to use Soluto on XP when it was a standalone program but once I moved to Windows 7 I wasn't convinced that it did speed the startup at all so got rid of it. I would suggest uninstalling it because it's probably unnecessary with later versions of Windows (and also it is very web-based in its operation compared to how it used to work, something that I personally wouldn't trust inherently).
Personally I would get shot of Soluto and instead of Super Anti Spyware I would download and install Microsoft Security Essentials along with the free edition of Malwarebytes and also that which has been suggested by sex goddess.

I acknowledge what methyl has said about removing whatever AV you have before downloading MSE. Having more than one AV programme causes conflict and can lead to numerous further problems.
Furthermore, has as been said by methyl......"The Malwarebytes scan is a priority".
Please take some action and report back.
