If I start to run Ad-Aware SE, my computer restarts itself after about ten seconds of the program running. There is no countdown, it just restarts itself.

Microsoft's malware program found nothing wrong with my computer.

I ran Hijack This, and this is my log file:
Please note that I usually have everything disabled with msconfig..

I have tried removing the two "hnetmxx.dll" files and "ddcyxwx.dll", but they are still there when I run the program again.

I tried running Ad-Aware SE and Hijack This in safe mode, to no avail. Ad-Aware still restarted my computer.

is there anything else I can do?
thank you.
