sounds like something very nefarious has happened here...

do you have a system restore point set? if so, use it to see if that solves your problem...

if that doesn't then ask yourself the following: how long are you prepared to try and ferret this out and how long will it take you to do a clean install of your OS....I usually choose the clean install route as that guarantees success....
