Best Buy's "optimization" services are a joke...

Both of those programs are long in the tooth and have too many false positives for most people. A better suggestion is malwarebytes.

He's not the only one...

Malwarebytes - free? good? I've never heard of it before. Cnet seems to like it. I might have to give it a try.

Malwarebytes is my first goto along with hijackthis! Remember it's best to run any type of scanning software in safe mode as the bad crap is severley limited in safe mode.

Prior to scanning clean the PC first to save time. Delete all *.tmp, *.temp, clear all cookies, history, and browsing results from what ever browser you use. I had a program that was scripted to do all that but lost it somewhere. Might be a good thing to hunt down after lunch.
