Are you running any anti-virus software?
If not try this:-

http://www.avast.com/i_idt_1016.html

Have you updated with the latest patches from Microsoft Windows Update?
If not try this and click Yes to install:-

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Hope this helps

Use this link and scroll down to where it says Patch Availability
click on that and select your operating system:-
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS03-039.mspx
this should protect against Blaster virus

Use this link and scroll down to the section with your Operating System and download and run the patch:-
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS04-011.mspx
this should protect you against Sasser Virus

Have you used Registry Mechanic and made changes to your system? If so, do you know what they were?

You really should not 'fiddle' with programs which can alter the way your system works, or even disable functions entirely, because you can render the system unusable.

Does this sound like a potential explanation?

If so, and you've no idea what you've played around with, then perhaps a format/clean install is the best route to follow, avoiding the use of 'tinkering' programs next time round.
