a friend of mine had a similar prob which got rectified after a throrough virus scan and spyware scan. i suggest u use avg anti-virus and ad-aware anti spyware. both are free and very effective.
if a normal anti-virus scan comes up with nothing, try scanning ur sys when in safe mode

this is a virus problem.TAke ownership in SECURITY tab..

To find security tab:
Right click my computer-->>properties-->>security

In security tab, there is an advanced option. There take ownership .But make sure you are loged as administrator or in administrator's group.

you may not find security tab in properties.To enable security tab:
start-->> my computer-->>tools-->>folder options-->>view-->>scroll down to the bottom of the list and clear Use simple file sharing [Recommended].

done.Now you can see security tab in properties of drives and folder.
