The HijackThis output posted by was reviewed and, as noted, contains no obvious browser hijacks. That said, spontaneous program closures can stem from many things that a browser-focused scan won't always show: software conflicts, driver or system-file corruption, failing hardware (RAM or disk), or stealthy malware that doesn't modify IE settings.

Practical diagnostic checklist:

  • Check Event Viewer (Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer) for Application and System errors matching the times programs closed; note faulting module names and timestamps.
  • Boot to Safe Mode. If the problem stops there it usually points to a third‑party driver or startup item. Use msconfig to perform a clean boot (disable non-Microsoft startup items/services in groups to isolate).
  • Run system integrity and disk checks: sfc /scannow (XP requires the install CD) and schedule chkdsk /f on next reboot. Run a bootable memory test (Memtest86) to rule out RAM faults.
  • Run a full, up‑to‑date antivirus scan plus a second‑opinion anti‑malware scan. Offline or Safe Mode scans often find things that live scans miss.
  • Inspect active processes with a process explorer tool to confirm file paths and digital signatures for any suspicious processes; a missing executable for a service or a service that repeatedly fails can cause instability.

Notes and cautions: removing services, editing the registry, or deleting files can break the system. Create a System Restore point and export registry keys before making changes. Verify unexpected DNS or service configurations with the ISP or a known-clean machine before changing network settings.

Following the steps above will separate hardware problems from software causes. As suggested, capturing a fresh HijackThis log with the latest build plus Event Viewer excerpts and results from memory/disk tests will allow deeper analysis if the issue persists.
