Attempting to fix suspected malware

[pudellvr]

I use this machine as a home theater video recorder. I began having problems with it repeatedly rebooting and losing files. I read somewhere that Driver Dectective might have been my problem. I have done a clean reinstall of XP on my F: drive. I try to keep most of my programs separate from it. This also may have infected my laptop through a removable hard drive. Here is my logfile...
TIA
Trish
