RESOLVED. kinda.
The 2nd time I tried the BitDefender RescueCD v2.0 dated 6-30-09, it found 4 infected files just like before and it also closed the scanner without warning yet again. But this time I shutdown the computer correctly when exiting the RescueCD instead of just holding the power button. On the next start up, the Security Center 4.52 virus had disappeared. So before I rubbed my eyes hoped this wasn't a dream, I installed avast! Antivirus and ran a scan. It said it had found malware on a certain .dlls. I had them moved to quarantine. It advised me to run a boot-scan, which I did. It found about 15~20 more Win32.Trojans. Fixed those. Now the only problem left is a small adware which won't load Google.com, click on search links from Yahoo or Google, or when searching through Google (with upper right search bar in Firefox) it is in German and it won't let me access language settings. I'm going to run Spybot S&D then TrendMicro's HiJackThis if S&D doesn't work. I'll upload the HJT log (regardless if the Search Engine adware was resolved) here and couple of other places so look out for that tomorrow afternoon since that's when I'll be going over.
Thank Tempers, you guys are wonderful.
