I've seen that this issue was solved before in this forum, however, as a layman, I couldn't use the information in order to solve my problem. I appologize for troubling you again with this problem.
My computer keeps on generating numeric .exe files, and stores them in my Documents and settings\MyName folder. The files are small (about 20 kb each), and are created at randon (as much as I can tell). I could not find any regularity at the times that it creates the files, on at the numbers that are set as names of these files.
I have Norton 360 run a comprehensive scan on my computer, but it found nothing. I downloaded a free version of AVG anti-virus software, but it did not solve the problem either.
I have downloaded Hijackthis and here is it's log file:

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is that some nasty worm, or what? and why don't the anti-virus software I paid good money for, recognize it?
More importently, how do I get rid of it?
Thanks in advance
