Disregard....finally found the malware with the fourth different anti-malware program. Crafty little bugger.

Malware is sneaky that way. Some of it is almost impossible to get rid of short of dumping your system out and reloading everything. A real pain.

That is why you aren't supposed to install it. 'Course, Windows makes that difficult by default...

One preventative measure: don't login as an administrator. You are basically asking to have some program run with your own account permissions and embed itself in the system itself.
