Hello kmac182 and welcome to TSF,

The infection you may have recognizes HijackThis and prevents HJT from reading the registry locations where it resides as well as hiding other infections in those locations.

I'd like you to rename HijackThis.exe to kmac.exe.

Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\abde\Desktop\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe
Right click on HijackThis.exe
Select 'Rename'
Type in kmac.exe
Press Enter.

Run a new scan with kmac.exe and post that log here.
