Well i have never had a problem with winmx and spyware so that should be alright just i would try and get antivirus software of some kind. In one of my first posts i told you what i thought might be viruses you should check those out at some virus search page.

You may also want to update your hijackthis to the latest version...the one you scanned with isn't the latest one, and the newest one will pick up more than the older one will. Then maybe that will show what could be causing your problem, and someone can help you out.

as I mentioned in an early post I thought some of those entries could be viruses what you should do is boot into safe mode (esc+F8 while rebooting) then go into the folder they are all in C:/WINDOWS/system32 and delete them. If at first you cannot see these files then go up to tools<folder options<view scroll down to hidden files and folders and select show hidden files folders. if these files dont appear now then they were probably deleted when you did that virus scan.
Oh yeah set a restore point and name it something that you will remember.
