I agree that nothing in the log file worries me.

These are all normal, these special files are locked by Windows. Most of
them are Windows registry files. It is unlikely that files named .DAT and
.LOG files would have viruses in them.

LUALL.EXE-30AC8E48.pf is a file that "pre-fetches" LUALL.EXE so that
Windows XP starts up faster. Google says that LUALL.EXE may very well be
Norton Antivirus Live Update, and I tend to believe this is likely true.
This does not concern me.

I'm thinking this is probably normal, but you'd want to ask in a group that
specifically supports your anti-virus program.
