    sounds like you have yourself a virus my friend but what you need to do is start windows in safe mode (hit f8 on boot) and see if you can uninstall whatever is causing you the problem. Possibly download a stand alone executable virus scanner from norton or mcaffee cause you might not be able to run your one in safe mode.

    If you can get into your files in safe mode then get an external hard drive and copy them across. If you can do this I'd consider a reformat and start fresh with some updated anti-virus.

    this isn't really the section for this you'd have far more success in the windows forum or the antivirus one what ever its called:D
