Run the programs in safe mode and post the logs...you may have to rename them.

If you choose Safe Mode with Networking you can.

Try to download Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ad724ae0-e72d-4f54-9ab3-75b8eb148356&displayLang=en and run it on your machine.

Just try.

If some infections have been removed by this tool, try to run again your hijackthis, malwarebytes, and superantispyware.
