i think your system has been infected with a virus. Although i dont know the exact method of recovery from this one, you can try this:

Try logging into the default Administrator account. TO do that press ctrl+alt+delete twice on login screen. In the login window that comes up type Administrator as username and password that you setup at the time of windows installation, if you didn't then leave it blank.
if you can login to this account, just delete your previous account and setup a new one.

ctr+alt+del will work only on XP professional and not on XP Home.
what you can do is, if you have a good antivirus like NOD32 etc, restart your pc and safe boot it, run the whole system scan. you may have to udate your virus signature before scanning.
