why is this?

I recommend checking out a web site, castlecops.com. Look for the forum "Hijackthis" and post your "Hijackthis" log. I've used this site numerous times to get rid of really stubborn spyware.

this indicates that theres something amiss with your OS.
backup all your files, and reinstall your OS again.

referring to "HijackThis" ;
be careful with this software. its very good, yeah. but if you dont know what youre doing, you can damage your OS. so dont delete any file, and as NateDawg here said, post the log on the "HijackThis" forum.

keep us updated with further information :)
