Put your XP CD into your CDROM drive and close it out if it auto launches. Then click on Start/Run and type the following:
scf /scannow
And click ok.
Let me know if that helps.

In addition to Dave's advice, do a full system scan with an AV software such as Norton Anti-virus or McAfee Anti-virus, download and run Lavasoft's Ad-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, spyware blaster and CWShredder.
This should take care of any viruses and spyware which may be causing this.
