Hello everyone,

I am running XP Pro and for the past 3 months I have been having a nightmare. I believe I may actually have someone targeting me. I am a web developer so I have scripts that I have personally written myself. My server is not accessible to the public though. I am running spy sweeper, spy bot, defender and avast. I have done several reinstalls which keep me in the clear for about 3 days. Like always things get really slow. My keyboard goes in reverse order, icons keep popping up, windows firewall goes down without warning and will not let me reopen it, mouse will go haywire, and files are randomly moved. All of these symptoms only happen once in a blue moon for about 1 minute at a time but this has to be a sign of something, right? How on earth is all of this happening??? I have been installing from the same disks now for 2 years and haven't had any problems until these past few months. Yes it comes with SP2 on XP Pro. My arsenal isn't catching anything until I run scans (which only work sometimes) and I occasionally find rootkits and reinstall after I find one. Is it possible someone is targeting me? and how are they being so successful at it? By the way the WinPcap log is suppose to be there. I used a password recovery tool for an old laptop I had in storage while I was in Iraq. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I couldn't get Panda to work because of pop up blockers. I scanned everything in safe mode though and it came up clean. Here's my logs:

The only thing I'm a little concerned about is EditPad's FTP capabilities. I don't know how to ensure that those are secure but to my understanding IIS would have to be on for them to be open correct???
