Hi niama1988,
From your HJT log it appeared that you still run XP SP2, that means a vulnerable OS, since then SP3 has arrived. If your OS is clean upgrade XP to ServicePack3. Apparently you do not have any resident av solution running on that machine (only scanned with KAV online Browser Helper Object). Strange system files are in C|Windows.0 (What caused the Windows.0?). MSIE unable to get your IE version, what is the browser (IE6 is vulnerable you should upgrade to version IE8). So you do not have a resident av solution on that machine nor an active firewall installed, unless you are apt in SafeHex these are insecure practices,

You are running Adobe Acrobat 7.0 that is down level and has security exposures.
Download Foxit Reader as it is a safe altenative to Adobe Reader that is the current favorite of malware purveyors:

You are running very insecure versions of Sun Java:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05
Go to Add/Remove programs and un-install Adobe Acrobat and all versions of Java.
Download JavaRa to remove all traces of Java:

Go to Secunia Online Software Inspector then run it to see what other applications are vulnerable:

Besides what has already been said, especially the need to get your system up to adte.
Why did you feel the need to run HJT ?
e.g. suspicious symptoms, etc.
yes, the windows was unable to show hidden files even if i chose the optionn…
tried all the possible solution…even by editing the registry(which usually works for me for a while at least) but not this time…
scanned with few antivirus but still the same…registry repair did not seem to do the work too…
Well an example of some of the files (and their location/s), you consider are hidden might help, because if your registry settings are set to show hidden files then it is highly likely that they are being hidden by something else.
What other AVs (I presume they were on-line scans) ?
If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it and report the findings (it should product a log file).
