I'm gone for 5 days to come back and find the computer is completely different from the way i left it.

1.) the bottom toolbar and, I'm not sure what it's called but the border around every window that pops up (i have windows xp) is usually blue, at least it was until they(mom and husband) changed some things a while back, went to the greyish color like they have in older operating systems. Now is back to the blue.

2.) every program i've used so far since i got back, GOM player, Windows media, Microsoft works all started up like they do the very first time you use them asking for my preferences and what not.(BTW, windows media player is now at version 9, when I left it was at version 11)

3.) the red-flag didnt go up until I tried to use my task managaer, which I now can't. (its not black like everything else, it's grey and not clickable)

But now I'm thinking there might be some malware on here. Please help, here is my hijackthis log:
