What's wrong with my computer?

I think that I am dealing with a worm or virus I want to get a second
opinion. When my HP Pavilion 511w starts up, it takes a long time to load my
settings ( 3 to 5 minutes ) while my desktop loads the cursur continues to
show a hour glass. NT ON-Access scanner service has encountered an error and
in the window it says that the virus scan online has expired.Then it brings
up my dial up connection to access the internet. Once my connects to the
internet thats my taskbar comes up and a internet explorer tries to go to
this page WWW.sqwire.com/homepage comes up and says cannot find server.
Another browser opens and say action canceled. My system is slow and my
system idle process is constantly in the 78%. This has to be a virus! I
don't want to reinstall the operating system unless I have to. Has anyone
seen this before?

Thank God for CD-Rs! I never thought I'd have as many as I have. I go
through an average of 100 a month, just backing up files I want to keep.
Everything I need to redo my computer is on CD.

It may benefit you (if you don't already) to scan the CD's for virus
either after you create them or better yet do a full system scan *before*
creating back up cd's
