Check your system for rootkits - http://www.randem.com/virusproblems.html

After do a Windows Repair if the problems still exist.

Try running SFC /SCANNOW from the Command Prompt.

I'd bet on a virus.
Had a similar problem with a used computer. Normal AV didn't find
anything. 3-days of googling and downloading specialized AntiMalware
programs that ran in safe mode and I got it mostly running.
Smitfraudfix, virtumonde fixes and sdfix did most of the work
on my system. There are many very nasty and very well hidden
malware out there. You can't just delete the files, 'cause they
come back.
