cmd.exe install window on startup?

Every time I boot up my computer, a dos window opens that says Installing.... on the first line and something else on the next line. I don't have time to see what the 2nd line says because another dos window immediately opens on top of it, and then both close. I don't know if it's serious or even a problem, but it worries me, as other problems have begun occurring since this began. For example my firewall program suddenly prevented any internet access and I had to reset to default settings to correct it. I'm running WinXP home on a Dell system. Any ideas?

Up to date Norton AntiVirus came up with nothing. Up to date SpyHunter found a couple things, which after removing them the install window still comes up. I'm still stumped.

Immediately after a reboot, run HijackThis, save the log, and post it, please.
