Hi AK,
Why don't you try posting your log into the automated site check for HijackThis I posted a couple doors down.
"This seems to be the place for HijackThis"
OUCH! http://whatis.techtarget.com doesn't show it either - and they're usually right on top of things. M$ dotcom and symantec didn't have it either - reckon it might be a zero day?
Here AK...I brought it to you...

Maybe not what your looking for but you could try using something like Quick View Plus to see more details about the file Link
Or if it runs as a process try something like Process Viewer to find out a bit more Link .
I know these 2 programs helped me out once in a while so might help you to.
Anyway just my 2 cents ,
C.
THe rest of the log looks fine. This
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mhcf] C:\WINDOWS\mhcf.exe
is probablyjust randomly named malware. You could upload it to Kaspersky or, better yet, to Jotti's malware scan press the Browse button, and find the file, then upload and scan it.
Let us know the results.
Copy and paste the output of each scan to this thread.
Or you could just kill it.
;)
