Well, I ran the fix-it program and I couldn't find either of those programs from your post in the list, Eset and McAfee were also not listed. I also couldn't find any other programs in the list that looked like they would be anti-virus programs. I'm not sure what else to do at this point, I do appreciate your help though, QS.

Well while we figure this out, go ahead and install another AV on your rig - definitely don't need to leave it unprotected.
I absolutely love the Panda Cloud AV - free

I'd recommend it over pretty much all the free AVs out there.
