I would recommend Norton Systemworks, it probally is a virus, but systemworks also repairs your windows system that viruses, spyware, and adware affect. It's really good software and I personally use it. However there is better virus, spyware, and software protect out there. Spysweeper with Antivirus. It is Elite software and in a league of its own.

It could be a virus or other malicious software. If you want to be sure, you should go to http://www.infectedornot.com
The site is safe, it is owned by Panda Software as part of their new "Infected Or Not?"campaign.
There, they let you use their new tools (Panda Nano Scan and Panda Total Scan) for free as part of a new awareness campaign. Nobody has more virus definitions than them. Just go there and try the tools, you will check your computer for all kinds of malware.

*Never install more than one anti-virus on your PC, as they may conflict with each other. On the other hand, its always good to install more than one anti-spyware.
To remove spyware, both of these rae free.
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.

Try a system restore from a previous date when you knew the PC was working correctly.
