Our kids' PC is infected such that IE7 is being hijacked to go to windowsclick.com.

Following some diagnostics it looks like a trojan named "uacinit.dll" (variously located in C:\Avenger and C:\windows\system32\) - as well as apparently other dlls that may be the root problem...

Here is a quick/partial insert from a RootRepeal scan (for Files) --

Path: C:\Avenger\uacinit.dll
Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\uacinit.dll
Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\UACvbfagxiqhemxsbx.sys
Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

Path: C:\Documents and Settings\Buffy.KIDS\Local Settings\Temp\UACf516.tmp
Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

The tojan has screwed up the operation of PC such that I can't reliably get MalwareBytes to run, or HJT (will try also in safe mode). On one scan with MWB it did detect the uacinit.dll and tried to delete it on reboot, but without success.

Symantec wasn't very helpful so I installed a 30 day trial copy of Kaspesky and did a full scan but it didn't pick up anything!

Would be very thankful and appreciateive for any helpful guidance to fix this annoying problem.

Was finally able to install/run HiJackThis v2.0.2 - but I had to rename the installer program (from HJTInstall.exe to, for example, HJTInstall-XX.exe) - guess the trojan is somehow trapping and stopping HJTInstall.exe

So here's a HJT report --
