Searching browsing history for a specified period with BrowsingHistoryView

I performed a malware scan of a system with McAfee Total Protect on 2016-12-14 which found malware that was apparently placed on the system on December 8, 2016. Since BrowsingHistoryView from Nir Sofer provides a means to examine the browsing history stored on a system for many browsers, I installed it on the system - the installation process consists of simply extracting the files contained in the zip file you can download from the NirSoft website - in an attempt to determine the source for the malware. I thought there might be an entry in the browsing history for a time near the time stamp on the malware file that would reveal a website from which it might have been downloaded. BrowsingHistoryView allows one to view the browsing history for the following browsers:

• Chrome
• Chrome Canary
• Firefox
• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Microsoft Edge
• Opera
• Safari
• SeaMonkey
• Vivaldi
• Yandex

SUPERAntiSpyware detected Search Protection

It reported that it found an application Search Protection:

It identified the following Windows registry key as suspicious:
