In User Accounts, I'm listed under the group "Administrators". It says "Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain". I always thought I had an admin account... perhaps I should try to create a new one?

Ok thanks very much!

I'm now properly logged in with an Administrator account. Everything seems to work fine here (except I obviously can't access my files/desktop etc. so directly). To check original symptoms, I tried installing Malwarebytes and running Windows update. Both work fine.

I guess this changes everything, but I'll complete the previous steps anyway.

First, here's the GMER log:

ComboFix ran way faster than before (a few mins compared to many hours). I logged back in to the affected user account to recheck the symptoms. Windows Update fails differently to before (the website loads but displays an error message on the page). The same problem remains with installing Malwarebytes (even though it is actually installed now).

I followed the steps. No change from before. Setup still completes fine in the Administrator account.

Yes MBAM looks fine. My point was that the MBAM installer cannot be run from the affected account (only the new, unaffected Administrator account). Similarly, Windows Update can only be run from the unaffected account.

In fact, all of the original symptoms are more or less the same in the affected account, while the Administrator account works fine.

I've been running Windows Update (and installing/uninstalling/using any number of programs) for the past 3 years on that account (which is listed as an 'administrator' account under User Accounts).

Still, what you say certainly makes sense, so I'll get on with it...
