First, don't post your real unmunged email address on Usenet or
messageboards. It will get harvested by spambots. Here is a link that
explains munging: http://www.mailmsg.com/SPAM_munging.htm
Second, it is unlikely your problems have anything to do with the
hardware. It is far more probable that you've picked up malware. Go
through the folllowing virus/malware removal steps systematically:

If you find the instructions difficult, then do yourself a favor and
take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local
version of BigStoreUSA). There is no shame in doing this.
