Well, I'm no master at hijackthis, but I didn't see anything bad. I'll see if i can lure greyknight or horse over here to take a gander.

just FYI svchost s a legitimate file. It will show up multiple times, in fact I have it running 6 times. There is a virus that is made to mimic svchost, but they switch the v and c so it is called scvhost (just tries to trick you into thinking its legit).

If you go to your process manager (ctrl + alt + esc) it will give you a nifty graph of how much memory you have left (under "Performance" tab where it says "PF Usage")
