You should first try booting into Safe Mode and running the programs you mentioned. While in Safe Mode, delete the contents of all Temp and Temporary Internet folders for all users. Also, do a search for *.tmp and delete all those files as well.

Reboot normally and go to this thread and follow any of the recommendations you haven't already tried:

After that, post a hijackthis log in the Security forum (even if it doesn't look 'normal').
