i recently discovered that my pc was shutting down on its own...after looking into it, i found several things wrong with my pc. i found firedaemon software on my pc which i never put there. 2 mins after i started my pc a dos prompt would come up and something would try to access my vnc client. there was a dll32.exe in my services, and there was and still is an msnupdate.exe in the services which i cant get rid of. i am usually very good about keeping a clean pc, so im very surprised this has happened. below is a hijackthis log, thanks.
