Considering there's a Mac Pro sitting there during the breaks, I'd say it's probably Final Cut of some sort. Most likely Final Cut Studio.

Unfortunately, Hiren's as well as MiniPE are considered warez due to the software contained within them.

The only other ones that I'd recommend that are not in your list are Super Anti-Spyware -- Picks up things that MalwareBytes does not. Dial-A-Fix -- Only for Win XP - Repairs basic WinXP catalogs & services that get messed up by infections HiJackThis Log Analyzer - http://hijackthis.de/ - Parses the HiJack This log for you There are no all encompassing guides for removal that I know of. It is more along the lines of knowing what order to run things and how to run them (mostly in safe mode if possible and for each individual profile). If you are setting up a VM machine to infect, infecting it with files from the Malware Database can let you try to fix infections on some of the latest malware.

I was looking into something like this as well. I'm looking to monitor network traffic, but being new to this kind of thing, I've been playing with numerous things, like Snort and a few various Linux Firewalls like Endian and Entangle with inline monitoring. I would really love to see some additional material on how some of this stuff is set up, since some of the documentation I've read just is not clear enough.
