As an added safeguard to what Don has suggested, I would not only
temporarily turn off the system restore but, with the system restore
off, I would restart in Safe mode and do a complete virus scan and
spyware scan with up to date definitions. Then restart in standard mode
and turn the system restore back on. This measure may not find anything
else, but, other than using time, it can't hurt.
