win32agent woes

[prglor]

Yesterday I ran S&D and it found win32agent.awz and win32agent.frl on my computer running windows 98. I clicked on fix problems and S&D said problems were fixed. But when I rebooted, my computer hung up and now is doing so often. It also said it found a new device and was installing it, but I don't know what device that was. I ran Hijack This and am posting the log below. What's my next move to get rid of this @*&^!#)+! blasted piece of code?
