Download HijackThis Executable from here. Save it to your desktop.
Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and then go to the format Tab and make sure that wordwrap is unchecked. Copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

Downloaded Superantispyware. Got the superantispyware.exe loaded ok, which i presume is the installer. However, upon double clicking that it exibits the same behaviour as the other spyware programs when double clicked, that is, the hourglass appears for some seconds and then nothing. I cannot find another icon on the desktop that could be the SASW run icon, which is not the installer program. I also looked on the traybar or whatever the bar is with the start menu button.

PS,..the hostexpert part went OK.

I'm gonna have to sign off for awhile as it is very late here, but I'll check back in tomorrow. Thanks Capt. Crunch for your help.

Delete the MBA-M installation file that is on your pc at present.
Go back to download MBA-M again. Click on the link to download it. Select the "Save" option.
When the panel pops up to ask you where you wish to save the file, before choosing where, rename the file. I chose "bambam" in my screenshot just as an example,
Once you have saved it, try again to install it.

Well, that name switcheroo seemed to get it to start installing. but it is hung indefinitely at the please wait while installing box. Maybe it is because a spybot box appeared and asked that a startup registry change was OK, and I chose refuse because the startup on my computer is already incredible slow. OOps,...stand by, a window just appeared from the malwarebytes, so something is happening, albeit very slowly. Trouble is, I have to take off now so I have to leave things as they are for now.
I guess I know the spybot is working in the background, even though I couldn't get a gui for it to do a scan or anything.
After some minutes, I cannot see an interface for the malwarebytes, or anything on the start tray bar. Should I try installing again and allow spybot to let a startup change be placed?

Thats what I would do
