HELP and double HELP

I can't get past the log on screen once I click and then the XP says it's setting my personal settings, then a message box appears saying I have x-number of minutes before rebooting (which it does automatically).
But...before it does, I caught something which said kalvghy32.exe

Can you help identify this and how do I kill it before the PC reboots. I do have access to this PC (my bosses office), so I'll follow you step by step.

Thanks.

Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

Before running this you will need to boot the computer into safe mode since it doesn't seem you are even able to get into normal mode. To do this follow these instructions:

Safe mode (continually tap the F8 key while your system is starting, select Safe Mode from the menu).

After you boot into safe mode, then run Hijack This, save the log, and paste the contents back here.

Now reboot into normal mode, rescan with Hijack This and post a new log.
