Hi...I'm not an expert, but I thought this link explained it pretty well....

I hope you find this helpful.

>'dzaqpykj.exe'

Sure sounds like malware to me. Rename it to .old and see what happens. If it resists boot in safe mode and delete it. It may be loading in the Registry. Drill on down to CurrentVersion\Run and see if it's loading. Safe Mode will also be needed to delete it there.

jonosd: Not sure about your file - don't know what it is. The port scans on your firewall are normal part of life these days. Just mopes looking for open ports to cause trouble with. That's why we have firewalls, so don't worry about them if your firewall is up and in good condition. Hyper threading was explained already by the previous reply, and expalined pretty well at that.
