Are you coming off of a fresh install of Windows? If so, did you have the comp hooked up to the net when you did the install? This causes heaps of problems with Malware and Spyware getting on even before you can set up your firewall (experienced it myself). If you've done this, you'll need to reinstall Windows. If not, we'll wait for the gurus here for some help.

I'm not a "software expert", but one program that has always helped me is Spybot Search and Destroy. Try downloading that, be sure and update it, and then run it and see what it finds out for you.
You have your entire life to be a jerk. So why don't you take today off?

Have not seen a virus in years. :)

Try searching Task Manager and look if you see any weird programs running. Just put in their name into google and see what turns up. Also try looking in the Add/Remove Programs and also look for anything weird.
Just get a decent virus scanner/firewall and you should be set.
