Thanks for your help so far Ken. However, just to make sure, a couple things that are still happening. 1. I got the window installer pop-up again this morning when I booted back up to normal mode. 2. There was a strange window tab that would appear for about 2 seconds and then go away on my taskbar. It appears like it is some sort of hiden program that is hidding its window from opening. 3. There are 3 supicious files in my HJT log still there, that I do not recall installing. I have put them in bold to help you from having to fish through the entire HJT log.

I was so aggressively looking for malware that I completely overlooked that entry.
Lets see how you stand on your logon.
Right-Click on My Computer
Select - Manage
Select - Local Users and Groups
Select - Users
Select - Administrator
Double-Click Administrator
The Administrator Panel should be relatively "blank"
It's "Description should read:
"Built-in account for administering the computer/domain"
the "only" box that should have a checkmark/tick appearing in it should be:
"Password Never Expires"
there are two additional (tabs)
Member of
and
Profile
Member of, should have "only" Administrators as an entry
Profile, should have a "dot" in the radio dial for: Local Path
No other entries should appear on the Profile (tab) panel.
Report back the status(s) of the Administrator Panel.
Be sure that you don't make any changes in the Administrtor Panel.
Just report back the information.
A "good" report, would be that all the checkmark/ticks and entries are as I have described above.
