Newest Adrenaline Keeps Crashing

I forget exactly which adrenaline I have, but I re-installed it again a few days ago. It never lasts longer than one or two minutes before silently exiting the program. What do I do? The last two versions I have updated to have been doing this. I've managed to do a factory reset, but it crashes all the time and cannot stay up. I just changed my motherboard, cpu, and memory today as well. No changes.

 

EDIT: I uninstalled AMD Software via windows add/remove; reinstalled it all. It's still crashing.

I read that AMD Adrenaline, one year ago or so, was reading some files in Epic Games launcher (spyware, malware) and that changing a folder name would stop the adrenaline crashes. Afaik, I never was cursed with such spyware, but in fact, I did have Epic Online Services (rootkit). So I uninstalled it immediately. Not trusting their uninstaller, I made my way to the appdata\local folder and found that it really did not uninstall it (typical virus behavior). So I deleted it. Then I reinstalled AMD Adrenaline after using the AMD Removal Tool. and now it works. Why is this software interfacing with known malicious software?
