saw this in a norton scan but it didnt do anything, searched around and saw it was a potential keylogger

hijackthis attached
 
sorry for the vague description, more details below

OS - WinXP SP2 (considering linux)
Norton (free with isp)
windows defender

recognised symptoms - programs take longer to start up/close and msn either displays a IE script error and i always click no when asked if i want to allow it to continue running (without IE opened)

thats pretty much it, i also spotted that some variants of it affect the world of warcraft launcher leading me to believe its a keylogger that targets warcraft aswell as msn
 
Hi :

Based on 2 Threads on the Wilders Security Forums, it is difficult to tell IF you
have an actual "infection", based on you not using Better Security programs .
The knowledgeable people on those Forums recommend using the FREE Version
of "SUPERAntiSpyware" from www.superantispyware.com, considered One of the
Best nowadays . The Free Version should not cause any problems with your
current security programs . After installing it, Update it, then run a "Full Scan" .
Another program recommended on the Wilders Forums was to use the little
known "Haxfix" program, downloaded from
http://users.telenet.be/marcvn/tools/haxfix.exe .
AND since there MAY be a "rootkit" involved, I recommend you use the FREE
"Rootkit Revealer" from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897445.aspx . This program will reveal the possibility of a
rootkit, though it will NOT remove any, but would give very good INFO as to the
"Name" IF any exists .
