If System Restore is still enabled, then you could try rolling back in the System Restore history to a point where that wasn't happening. Good luck :)

BTW run a couple of virus scans before you do that. The stickied Consolidated Security Thread at the top of the Software section has some free online virus scanners listed, I heard good things about the Panda and TrendMicro ones and would also try Kaspersky's too.

sounds like a virus of some sort. What happened is your $PATH variable got messed up. you can check it by going to a command prompt and typing "PATH" (no quotes). post the output.
