can connect to the internet
can not do any security updates: AVG, AVGAS, Defender....
Repaired, uninstalled, reinstalled AVG: no change
Manually updated & scanned with AVG, AVGAS: clean
Scanned with Adaware & Spybot: Spybot picked up Zlob.Downloader & some other zlob variants, ran scan in safemode, system restore off, seems to have cleaned it.
HijackThis analysis seems ok.

any suggestions as to why AVG, AVGAS, Defender wont update.

That can because the viruses/bug have disabled/damaged the security software. go to Nod32 (www.eset.com) and get a better Antivirus , How good Is AVG ?? well a customers PC I've got on the workbench right now HAD AVG - said it had 1 infection - Nod so far at 43% is upto 285 infections - also look in my sig at the spyware doctor - download that and run - as well as Super Antispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/) Your system could still be infected hence updates not working.
