I wanted too add a few things too that list if i may.
If its a root kit or any sort of nasty memory virus/Trojan it will block the virus scanners with updates or even installing.
Best thing too do is restart the pc when its starting up press f8 or f7 depends on the machine motherboard ( for safe mode)
when started up you will be greated by the normal login screen just type administrator and password is nothing so leave it blank.
when logged in go too start then run and enter msconfig.
when you arrived at msconfig go too services click hide all Microsoft services and click disable all.
bare with me as were almost done ;)
then go in msconfig and go too start up click disable all or look for strange programs you do not know!
then click apply and it will ask too restart your pc ( witch you will do)
boot up normally this time and then download the scanners ect.
for the rest i like spyware doctor a good one aswel for rootkits and nasty ones ;)
i do want too say good job on referring the HijackThis (HJT) as its very valuable.
