Computer problems

[ptbll220]

My Norton antivirus is registering what it calls "intrusion attempts" every few minutes while I'm connected to the internet.  Some examples are m01n83kjf7.com, 01n02n4cx00.cc, 91.212.226.59 ect... For some reason my task bar and windows have changed appearance from the xp style to the old windows 98 style.  I ran hijack this and searched all the processes in a library but I'm no expert.  Here is my hijack this log, I'd appreciate any help.

The notifications in the History log about intrusion attempts are normal, as the Norton Security Suite is just notifying you that it detected that an IP (or) IP's with ports that you did not configure, are active on your network. It does not necessarily mean that your ISP is snooping on your network, but only they can tell you exactly why this traffic is coming through.
Does it always list the same exact IP address in the log or are they different? I would suggest that you contact Comcast to find out why this traffic is coming through on your system.

I went back and took a look at the log files and there are three different ones, 85.12.46.159, 91.212.226.59, and 202.157.171.207.  This all started happening after norton recognized Trojan.Fake.Av ca3740ad.exe but it said it quarantined and removed it.  It also says that I am "connected to a wireless network that is not secure" but this has never been a problem before.  Also any ideas as to why my task bar and windows started looking like the old windows style? I went to try to change it back to the XP style in appearance and themes but it won't let me change it.

[SuperDave]

Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
