Infected laptop running Vista Home Preiump, SP2

Hi folks, I have a laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 and connected to the internet. As of about a week or so, every time I open my laptop or restart my machine, a never-ending sequence of what seem like auto-created .exes running out of C:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Temp attempt to do something that Account Control blocks and prompts me to permit. I can manage to bring up the TaskManager in which I see several random processes running with what seem like auto-generated names (603.exe, 514.exe). If I terminate those processes via the Task Manager, the flurry of Account Control interrupts stops and the machine returns to normal operation. After some time (sometimes minutes, sometimes hours) another of these processes spontaneously launches again. So it seems like some kind of infection or remote execution is happening. Thanks in advance for your help! Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.4 Scan saved at 4:22:58 PM, on 06/02/2011 Platform: Windows Vista SP2 (WinNT 6.00.1
