Hi Ollie,
As Will has stated, you need to run a virus check on the system with an
updated antivirus utility. The symptoms you are experiencing are a symptom
of several viruses, including Klez and Yaha. I would suggest that in
addition to your existing one, you also download stinger from
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/, then restart in Safe mode and run the
system scans. This is necessary because the virus that is causing this
behavior will mask itself from protection in Normal mode.
How to start in Safe mode:
