Yeah. I don't know what happened. One day, all of the sudden, Windows XP created a little X inside a red circle icon inside my tray and keeps bugging me that my computer is infected. Not only that, but my AVG scan doesn't say anything's wrong. Also, at random times that my sound is on, music or videos (I'm assuming) will play, but nothing is open, nothing is running. I ran HiJackThis (after several failed attempts, I finally learned I had to change the name because apparently this virus is shutting it down immediately) and I have the log right here. I recognize a few things here, but some of the files just seem like random numbers and letters, and I don't know if that's good or bad. Please. Someone take a look at it:
