Thanks again for your attention...

Obviously, you should get all tools and updates from a different,
known-clean computer. If you don't have one, consider taking the laptop
to a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigStoreUSA) or go to a friend's house. Make a cd-r of everything
you'll need or use a usb thumbdrive with enough capacity to transfer
the files.
