Virus.

Are you able to run a virus-check with your antivirus? If not, try to Restore the System to earlier date, perhaps to a week earlier and after that try to run virus-check. Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore (for XP). If you have Vista, try to find System Restore from the Search tool.
