Not always...you have a particularly clever one. Format C is always an option, and the re-image, but not everyone is set up to do that. We think that's quitting, anyway.

Next step:

Do another Blacklight scan.
For hidden entries found, choose for Blacklight to rename all of them

The tool will ask if you want to reboot (restart) choose yes.
After you have rebooted post back with a fresh hijackthis log
