This seems very short for a HijackThis! log!  Are you sure you have posted the entire log?

What difficulties have you experienced?

Thank you for help me. 
I think that yes, however I cannot guarantee. I do not have much experience with the hijackthis. 
The machine breaks constantly, when initiating (?).
Thanks and best regards,

Dru

There's nothing in the HijacKThis log.

I think you have a problem while the computer is booting, if I understand correctly.

It could be a hardware problem or damaged XP installation.

You could try running a hard disk check, booting into 'last known good,' a system restore, or repairing XP.

off topic -If you don't use these a lot, you might want to consider removing these from starting up every time you turn on your PC.  Really not needed and might speed up your boot up.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RemoteControl] "C:\Arquivos de programas\CyberLink DVD Solution\PowerDVD\PDVDServ.exe"

I could be wrong (newbie here) but you seem to be missing 2 programs which could slow down the logon process:

O23 - Service: avast! Mail Scanner - Unknown owner - C:\Arquivos de programas\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe" /service (file missing)

O23 - Service: avast! Web Scanner - Unknown owner - C:\Arquivos de programas\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe" /service (file missing)

Check to see if you have them at the specified location...

Hijackthis is searching for 'C:\Arquivos de programas\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe" /service' (including double quotes and '/service' parameter) as a file, this causes 'file missing', because only present is 'C:\Arquivos de programas\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe'.

So, this is a bug in HijackThis, actually - there's nothing wrong about those entries.

Hi druzilla, you appear to missing the 02 entries whilst it is not beyond possibility that you have none it is also a sign of malware intrusion.  So I would suggest you rename HJT to somthing else e.g. Gotcha and then re-run it and see if you get any 02 entries appearing.  If you do it may be a sign of a Virtumondo infection
