Look I could be wrong "but" it sounds like a virus to me. I had a similiar problem until I went here http://free.avg.Com/ww.download-avg... and downloaded the free anti virus program.
Click on the above link and scroll down the page and click on "download" under the heading "Free for private use only".
This product is Fully Licensed and best of all its totally absolutely free.
