I think you should post a Hijackthis log in your security forum. I'm VERY suspicious of this one! I suspect this is likely malware.

server: program files\support.com\client\server\server.vbs

I also have no idea what this one might be.

sisusbrg: windows\sisusbrg.exe

From WinPatrol site.

Sony VAIO – SERVER.VBS

Server.vbs is part of a program called "ZTGServerswitch". Part of Sony's VAIO support agent, it comes pre-installed on Sony VAIO computers. This program can be helpful in gathering information about your system when troubleshooting problems with Tech Support. If you don’t need this function, you can remove the program. Some classify ZTGserverwitch as Spyware claiming that too much information is sent to Sony.

For more information, visit Sony's support site here: http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/support/

=====================================
Not sure about this one below because the name SISUSBRG but not the .exe.
But checking out the file and where it is installed will help you find out if it is the same as posted below.


SIS USB Patch – SISUSBRG

SISUSBRG is a patch for video cards based upon the SiS (Silicon Integrated Systems) chipset. Many manufacturers including ATI base their video cards upon this chipset. This file corrects a USB bug on Windows XP based systems whereby systems could crash on sleep/standby/hibernate.

More info and driver updates can be found at http://download.sis.com/.
