OK this looks to be Software related likely Malware!
Before proceeding cleaning or running the others go to 8 Steps below and get HJT and post a log
now as it will tell me what OS etc you are running as you posted no system specs! Then continue from here!
Do the below in order presented!
Clean temps deeply and registry gently do below.
Run CCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds (get SLIM at bottom no Yahoo toolbar)
Run twice or more on Cleanup temps, then on left click Registry then Scan for issues also repeat till clean.
Run ATF-Cleaner
http://majorgeeks.com/ATF_Cleaner_d4949.html Temp and Registry, repeatedly until no more found.
KCleaner
ftp://ftp2.kcsoftwares.com/kcsoftwa/files/kcleaner.exe
Fantastic cleaner.
(When installing uncheck Relevant Knowledge do not install)
When run click Analyze, when complete the Clean.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Cleanup (CleanMgr) System Restore so do the below
Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk- System Restore and create a new Restore point. Name it "Cleanup at TechSpot".
Then Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Cleanup
Click OK to accept C:
Select all Boxes
Then click More Options
Here click System Restore and OK to "Are you sure" and the OK to Run.
As this runs it clears all but the most recent Restore Point but it does one other thing that can contain infested files and a huge amount of disk space.
It clears what is known as Shadow copies which are used by specialized back up programs.
This is if you have the Volume Shadow Copy running which is the default.
