If I may quote a previous post...

Post your HJT log at the following site, which is dedicated to malware removal. Please note that you will have to register first: -

Good luck.

Thanks, Marmaduke.

MalWare Removal

Every reboot is to be taken as a malware alert?

Perhaps a hardware problem is occuring?

You run Ares. A timebomb IMHO.

Some unusual stuff going on for a home PC.

O23 - Service: Remote Packet Capture Protocol v.0 (experimental) (rpcapd) - Unknown owner - %ProgramFiles%\WinPcap

WinPcap 3.1 comes with Remote Capture capabilities. This is an highly experimental feature that allows to interact to a remote machine and capture packets that are being transmitted on the remote network.

This requires a remote daemon (called rpcapd) which performs the capture and sends data back and a local client that sends the appropriate commands and receives the captured data.
