Excellent advice here, James, but, if nothing else works, you can try your original idea of some free online scanners ....
Superantispyware >
http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE
AVG AntiSpyware > http://www.ewido.net/en/
TrojanHunter > http://www.misec.net/
These will all allow full program downloads and will disinfect the computer of anything they find. Yes, the programs may not work fully after the trial period but make maximum use of them now if you can.
If the infected computer has trouble downloading HijackThis I suggest you do the following ...
> Download HJT to a working computer ...
> rename the file from HJT.exe to scanner.exe ...
> transfer the scanner.exe file to the suspect machine via floppy, CD, pen drive or whatever ...
> run HJT and "scan & save a log file".
Copy the logfile report and post it here for more advice.

Yes James it does seem as if there is still work to do.
I thought you may not be able to run those scanners I mentioned in view of the difficulties you reported earlier.
I think the time has come for us to see a HJT log now.
Please post one.
