I had this exact problem, and it persisted and got worse each time i went to the computer. It was like a downward spiral. I eventually Formatted and Installed a fresh copy of XP Pro. YOu should back up your files and do a factory restore in my opinion. All the executables I backed up apparently contained a virus when I tried to use them on my fresh XP install. So I couldn't access them without risking infection again. It's most likely a virus.

That's real strange!
Which AntiVirus are you using to perform the system scan?

The only thing I can suggest is a format...

I too had a number of clean scans. I had no other thing to resort to besides formatting/factory restore.
