Need help identifying what these might be

I have a client with Windows Defender for whom I am doing remote monitoring,
including the Windows XP Event Logs. At least a couple times a day on several
of his machines the Event Logs report several entries like the following:

You will notice that the "service" and "driver" names are meaningless.
Google searches turn up nothing because they are not legit names AND the
names are entirely random and DO NOT repeat. Therefore these things are
almost certainly some sort of spyware.

However, a check with several antispyware tools and rootkit detectors cannot
pinpoint the source. And since Windows Defender gives me no indication as to
what files are involved, I am stuck.

I do intend to try to use several process, driver and server enumeration
viewers to try to spot these things, but I have little hope as I suspect they
are hidden.

Has anybody seen these before? Are they known spyware or just Windows
Defender spurious identifications?

I see some unknown services here. I would look and see if you recognize them.
If not, then you should disable them and run an anti-virus application.
I2i91imww.
Netenumtw
Perf15acc
Kssacgpnvene
Astpmamdmver

You could have a rootkit which is hiding them if you do not see these see
these services in services.msc.
