Winlogon.exe take 99% CPU

[viente]

Hi,

I have a problem of a process called Winlogon that take 99% of CPU usage in My Win XP home edition (SP2).

After several minutes of work my PC freezes and looking on task manager show winlogon.exe is 99%.

I have Norton AV running but it doesn't find any problem.
I run AdWare, Spybot and others - no use.
I post here the HiJackThis log, any help will be appreciated.
TIA

I ran all the tools in http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288 and only Panda Active scan found issues but didn't fix them.
Here is the log:

I also used Windows update and installed all the recommended.
