malware hidden on desktop?

I have posted my hijackthis and uninstall log as requested. I was infected with a malware. I think it may have been the Fake Microsoft Security Essential alter? I ran MawareBytes over a few days and it detected and removed several bad entries. I have since run Malware, Symantec anti-virus and Spybot and nothing is found. But I suspect something was left behind. I did run hijackthis and found what I think are 2 bad entries: O2 BHO:(no name)-AutorunsDisabled-(no file name) and O24 Desktop Component Autorunsdisabled: (no name) (no file). I used hijack this to remove these 2 entries. Hijackthis removed the BHO, but it can not remove the desktop component. After removal attempt I re-scanned and O24 is still found as O24 Desktop Component 0: (no name) (no file). Additionally, I keep receiving Symantec alerts of a worm intrusion block and at times my cpu usage runs at 100% with a svchost.exe running wild. If you need any additional info, please advise. Thanking you in advance for any and all
