I keep having these weird services appearing in task manager

Somebody please try to help me figure out what's going on with my computer.

Every once in a while I have these weird services appearing in task manager. Here's a screenshot (the top two services are the suspicious ones):



Those first two services are the suspicious ones that I've never seen before. They keep on appearing as a variety of different names. Every time these services appear they create a bunch of files in the system32 folder and also in C:Documents and settings/User/Local Settings/Temp/.

This same problem caused me to reformat my computer last time but unfortunately it's started happening again. I'm not sure if It's a virus or not but it seems like one. But the thing is though that I reformatted the entire partition that contained my windows installation so you wouldn't think that it be a virus right? As far as I know, ALL of the software installed on my computer is safe. It took 5 days or so for these services to start showing up again so it probably isn't caused by the software that I'm running on my computer. My friend keeps on playing this stupid online game for hours on end on my computer, do you think someone is attacking the computer from this? It's a Facebook game.

I found this:

also, check out Avast anti-virus, Zone Alert firewall, and things like that.

One other thing you can do; type the actual service name into the search field in Google; and you'll get explanations, and possibly even the program that's calling it.

Hai2u trojans, now there's a pretty good reason not to browse sites such as cracks.ws, or tgp sites.

Nod32 is what I use and I find it to be very effective at protecting my system.
