My PC is freezing / HiJackThis log

[Mediterran]

Hello,
My Internet connection (cable) is stopping
After some minutes of browsing, Internet stops as if the
connection is lost (but it is not) and I have to restart the PC
to browse again.
Sometimes the PC is freezing when closing all the applications
to restart.

Below is the HiJackThis log
Somebody can see anything wrong on this log ?

Thanks for support.

Have HiJackThis "Fix/Remove" these:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [SSDPSRV]C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ssdpsrv.exe

I might suggest that for Win95/98/Me you have way too many programs running in the background. Try going to to see which programs need to be running and how to stop them from loading.

[badpolarbear]

try going Start, Run and type msconfig and see whats running in the background in start up. Good rule of thumb is dont start anything thats going to finish you. Daniel

Thanks for the replies,
I have removed
ssdpsrv.exe
PCHSchd.exe
mstask.exe

and stop loading some others programs at start-up
PC seems more stable but I would need to test for a while
