Having some virus trouble here

I'm trying to get rid of what I'm certain is a virus at this point.
Here's the lowdown.
Task Manager does not work. Same with regedit. Some other programs behave abnormally i.e. i can run a program, minimize it and it will continue to run even though I cannot open it back up again. Limewire (I know some of you will discourage me from even having this program) will not shut down even when I disconnect it under the file menu.
I've ran a McAfee virus scan with no results but the definitions are out of date and my license has expired. I cannot afford to purchase a renewel at this time.
I tried downloading and installing ewido but when I attempt to run it windows tells me the installer is corrupted or incomplete and may be due to a damaged disk, failed download or virus.
I also downloaded and ran CWshredder but it came up with nothing.
Here is my HJT log:

Your system is infected with a nasty trojan.

[color=red]Very Important:[/color] Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread [color=blue]HERE[/color] and decide what it is you want to do.

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT, [color=red]AVG Antispyware[/color] and Combofix logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.

Also, let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan.
