have you tried booting up in safe mode and running the virus scanner??
you could also try "sfc /scannow" in the command window. that will check all ur files. but it sounds like you got a virus.

Restart your computer, and before you see the Windows logo (after POST) hit the F8 button, and you'll get a menu..Select safe mode from here.

I think you shuld reinstall your anti virus software, update it & and do a scan, or save your data and reinstall windows.

You can also try the restore function in XP.
Or boot with cd and choose repair.
