Try System Restore:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore
Choose a date/time before this started.

Otherwise try these:
Run an updated virus scan.
Or Scan for Viruses online:

Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes except "Compress old files"
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Clean-up
Run Defrag.
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter
If you have file sharing software such as Kazaa, disable it.
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:

Or

Also, please do not use ALL CAPS in newsgroups.
ALL CAPS is more difficult, considered shouting and rude.
