freezing, error messages.

Okay, so I've been having problems with my computer feezing, getting booted from the net, end program being in japanese/chinese-looking letters. I will get errors saying that a program is already in use (I only click it once, not a million times) and then I will get errors for programs I'm not even trying to open saying they are in use.

 

Here's the rest of the attatchments. I just realized I forgot to add that I am running windows XP. Counterspy found one virus thing, and I selected to fix it. Panda found 11, I think.

 

I need a HijackThis log

 

Sorry about that!
