That damage is low for that, so you probably will not have to reformat.
It seems be a fake codec. Have you downloaded any codecs latedly?
Try rebooting into Safemode:
Turn on the computer.
Immediately begin tapping the F8 key.
Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press the Enter key.
Run a scan with Antivir and let it clean what it finds.
After that, reboot normally and see if the problems persist.
If that does not help, please post on the HijackThis Board.

Please download
HJT Installer from
Here to your desktop.
If not available use this alternate link:
Here
Click the
Download button.
When the Trend Micro HJT install box appears, double click on the
HJTInstall.exe.
Click on Install.
It will be installed by default here: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
A shortcut to the application will also be placed on your Desktop.
The program will open automatically after installation.
You can double-click the icon that was placed on the Desktop to run subsequent HijackThis scans or you can use the icon inside the folder.
The folder HijackThis is where you will find the HJT logs that you save. When you use the application to remove anything, you will also find the backup copies made by HJT inside this folder.
Close all open windows except HijackThis.
Click on "
Do a system scan and save logfile" When the log pops up in Notepad copy and paste that file as a NEW MESSAGE on the HijackThis Board.
Before closing HJT, please click on the
Analyze This button. "Analyze This" is for Trendmicro use, and does not mean "Analyze My Log". You must post on the forum in order to receive an analysis of your log.
Close the web page that appears and then close the program HJT.

* DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or required.
