Thank you for your help Broni.
I printed out your instructions and followed them implicitly.
When I ran SUPERAntiSpyware, it said that the system was OK. I went to check the log afterwards (so I knew what I was looking at to post it here) and there isn't a log at all!
I ran the Malaware bytes program and again there is no log! (I looked in all the places you listed too, there isn't even a folder called 'log' in the Malaware folder!)
I ran the GMER program. Here is the log:
GMER 1.0.15.14972 -
GMER - Rootkit Detector and Remover

---- EOF - GMER 1.0.15 ----
I ran another HijackThis. Here is the log:
