    The first thing I would suggest to do is to run a virus protector program. You can run any of many free ones on the net.  Also read this.

    If all the scans for malware come up clean, run the XP system file checker:
    click start>run
    type in: sfc /scannow
    (space between sfc and /)
    click ok
    Insert XP CD if sfc requests it and reboot when it's done.
