CPU usage is en fuego...

Well, something is frying my computer speed. First there was a pair of files:
"rasdns.exe". Ending the process under task manager did nothing as it started
right back up. I searched for it: A stuffit file was in WINDOWS/Prefetch, and
an application was in WINDOWS/AppPatch. I ran Hijack This, but although it
said the files were deleted, they were not. So I started up in safe mode and
was able to delete them.

However, a brand new set of files appeared, this time called regav.exe.
Again, the stuffit was in WINDOWS/Prefetch - this time the application was
hidden away in WINDOWS/Fonts. I deleted them.

Next came "wms.exe"; the current one is "olecab.exe"

I have no idea what to do - neither Norton nor my anti-spyware programs can
figure out what is causing these applications to spontaneously generate. My
computer is at a stand-still unless I run on safe mode.

I am assuming something trojan in my registry is causing this, but what do I
know? Here's the log from my latest Hijackthis.....
