Virus preventing install of security suite software

Hello, newbie here. Have tried and failed repeatedly to install NIS 2012, and Norton tech support says I have a virus. Can anyone help? Have run MBAM, Norton Power Eraser, Trend Micro Housecall, SAS, Windows Defender - all show no errors. I can run NIS Full Scan in Safe Mode and it detected 7 heuristic viruses which I removed, but on restarting in regular mode, NIS won't even start up. Autofix can't correct the problem. Here is my HijackThis log:

Thanks if anyone can help…

Hello atrewsfan and welcome to the WTT forum.

My name is Satchfan and I would be glad to help you with your computer problem.

Please read the following guidelines which will help to make cleaning your machine easier:

please follow all instructions in the order posted
please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear
all logs/reports, etc. must be posted in Notepad. Please ensure that word wrap is unchecked. In Notepad click Format, uncheck Word wrap if it is checked
if you don't understand something, please don't hesitate to ask for clarification before proceeding
the fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
please reply within 3 days. If you do not reply within this period I will post a reminder but topics with no reply in 4 days will be closed!

IMPORTANT:

Please DO NOT install/uninstall any programs unless asked to.
Please DO NOT run any scans other than those requested

===================================================

We need a better look at what is happening here so I’d like you to run a couple of scans.

Run OTL

download OTL and save it to your desktop.

double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted
when the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output
check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check
click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan won’t take long
when the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt.

Note: These logs can be located in the OTL. folder on you C:\ drive if they fail to open automatically.

Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post them with your next reply. You may need two posts to fit them both in.

===================================================

Run aswMBR

Download aswMBR.exe ( 511KB ) to your desktop.

double click the aswMBR.exe to run it
click the "Scan" button to start scan
on completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

Logs to include with next post:

OTL.txt
Extras.txt
aswMBR log

Thanks

Satchfan
