You definately have a virus, ridding yourself of it should be the priority. D/load AVG(FREE) update it and run it to get rid of the virus. If you don't get rid of the virus, every time you restart you computer all your files will be exe's. You can always redownload your files again.

the guy in this link had the same problem as you so you two should keep tabs on each other's threads.

If it is a virus, maybe you two could see if you downloaded anything similar to warn others.

just a thought...
