(snip unneeded/unwanted HJT log)

We don't analyze HijackThis logs here in the MS newsgroups. In any event,
your issue is not caused by malware.

The Stop Error and Problem Report indicates that your ethernet adapter is
the culprit. Either the drivers are bad or the hardware is bad. First
update the drivers (see below for details). Then go to Control Panel>Device
Manager and find the Intel ethernet adapter entry. Double-click it to get
its Properties. You will see a tab called "Power Management". Click on the
tab and clear the box that says "allow Windows to turn off this device when
not in use".

Now see if the issue is resolved. If it isn't, your hardware is bad and
should be replaced. Since this is probably an onboard adapter, if you have
a desktop machine you'll need to disable it in the BIOS and install a PCI
ethernet adapter (very inexpensive). If this is a laptop you won't be able
to fix this by yourself and will need to call the laptop mftr.'s tech
support. Of course you may want to do this in either case if the machine is
under warranty.

Addendum - Sorry, I forgot to give you the information about getting
drivers:

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer
(HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model
machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.
