Read http://forums.cnet.com/7723-6132_102-255339/fyi-please-do-not-post-any-hjt-logs-in-this-forum/?tag=contentBody;threadListing about many forums that take and diagnose those logs.
I like bleepingcomputer as they give a guide on how to start working the issues.
Your best clue is uTorrent. Torrents continue to harbor the latest threats.

Got a live one for the community.
My browser is locking up when I try to access Disqus posts of mine on The Atlantic... which posts keep mysteriously disappearing. I have had notices from Yahoo that I have too many accounts open, when I have only one machine with one window open to my account.
I suspect I've been attacked by a fairly sophisticated hacker with a real onus against me. And who is watching my every move on this machine; I tried to contact the Hijack This forum with a report and got a lockup again that didn't stop till I took my browser down and back up again. Also, I don't like the looks of this Hijack This report -- I have 'unknown owner' entries to pretty powerful low-level security programs. Can somebody take a look at this and give me an opinion? I appreciate the help.
This guy could be coming after you next. Or your local electrical utility.
