I've also found that running Norton's WinDoctor helps clean up weird windows stuff.  If none of Yuki's and my suggestions work, Microsoft offers a memory test that will check the integrity of your memory simms.  I had a bad sim that caused irradic opperation and the memory tester is how I identified it.  Another idea is a cmos upgrade (probably can download from MB mfg. site).  I can't remember what cmos stands for, but it's the memory built into your motherboard that guides the boot process before Windows has her way with your system.

You don't say which flavor of Windows you are running, but the first
thing I would do is backup all critical data, *now*.  Then I would
run Ad-aware, followed by Pest Patrol, for starters.  It may be
likely you have opened something problematic, or have inadvertently
visited or have been redirected to some site that left behind a
"calling card".

You should also run chkdsk /f on all your drives.
