So I left my computer on all night so that I can download movies. My firewall was disabled. When I awoke, half of my downloads were complete, but I couldn't find them anywhere on my computer, or it's possible that Kazaa forgot to change them into media player format.

So I got annoyed and restarted my computer. At the Shutdown screen. There was a window with three options that I didn't recognize, I think one had the word monitoring in it, no sure. But what was really weird about it was that it said "foreground window" like 3 times before the computer actually shut down. A voice said it!

WTH is that?

the "foreground window" sounds like someon started the Window Accessibility's Narrator feature

Start->Programs->Accessibility->Narrator

Maybe the MPAA hacked you.

If you had your firewall disable all night, chances are that you have been hacked and whatever you had on your system has been exposed to the world.
