Hello and welcome to Techspot.

I have moved your thread to the correct forum.

Your system is infected with some nasties. Please follow all the instructions below.

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html

Click start/run and type services.msc into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, maximise it. Double click on the following services(if there) and select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

Close the services window.

I have deleted your other thread for this subject. Please don`t open any more threads for this.

HJT logs are not supposed to be posted in the Windows OS forum. Thanks.

Follow the instructions above and post a fresh HJT log.

Regards Howard :)
 
Well done. Your HJT log is clean.

I assume your task manager is now working properly?

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.
