Please help me to get rid out of this problem.Thank you for reading my post.

To me, your machine appears to be infected with a virus.. try cleaning it with a good anti-virus..

Go for a full scan with the following softwares:

Also make sure that they are updated to latest definition files and go for Full System Scan.

Just start your computer in Safe Mode and do a virus check this might solve your problem.

That's what happened to me couple of days back but my problem was slightly different. My pc never used to restarts but after booting into win xp nothing used to work. I couldn't even change date and time, it was that horrible.

Well anyway, the point is that I went into safe mode and cleaned up virus, also type 'msconfig' in run command and check for any unusual applications/programs. If so then uncheck it.

It happened to me to, the problem persists in safe mode.

Run a scan with "Trojan Scanner" If it doesn't solve the problem, sorry dude, you'll have to format.
