Try running an online virus scan from Panda or Housecall, or preferably both. They each seem to pick up different things.

If you have WinXP Professional or Win2000 Professional then it sounds like it's time to lock down that computer nice and tight, with your sister having a Limited-class or Restricted-User-class account, and yourself as well (so that if she sneaks time on your account, she still has no Admin privileges). First you have to cure the problem, of course. The top link in my signature is a page with some resources listed on it, including Panda's online scanner, free McAfee Stinger "top-45" virus removal tool, and advice on lockdown and prevention under the Ongoing prevention header.

If you have WinXP Home, then .
