Don't call main() from your functions. return instead.

Just out of curiosity,
Why did you say this? @Waltp

You may be right about the virus. If you haven't done so yet... scan your computer!

Because we are asked to guess at what the problem could be since no details were forthcoming. So I guessed.

At first I was going to ask you if you have any berserking pointers or char* strings without end character, but it struck me that your ram and secondary storage are separated ;P

However, if you are doing some intense file manipulating (on an OS that doesn't intervene when trying to read/write past EOF), that may be where you will find the fault.

Actually, I've become quite curious of what causes this problem. If the problem turns out to be something related to your code (not virus etc) I would gladly like to know what caused this! Please post interesting parts of your code!
