Can't login -personalized settings/files disappeared?

The last week or so, our computer has been really slow. A couple of days ago, when I tried to login to my personalized settings (as opposed to my husband's), as soon as I click on my name, a box came up, saying something along the lines of "personal file corrupt - cannot load settings - will login as guest." So irritated that I didn't write it down exactly.

So l clicked OK or ESC and it would basically log me in as a new user/guest. No settings, favorites, anything. I click on My Computer and see Husband Files, My Files, Shared Files. Click on Husband Files and all of his files are intact. My Files - nothing. There are no document. It still lists My Pictures - but nothing is in there.

I ran a malware program yesterday and it seemed to "catch" a few bugs. This morning, I logged in, and it let me through without the box - but then automatically logged me in as a guest user again.

Not sure if I'm describing this well enough - please let me know what else you'd need to know. I'm freaking out - of course my documents include all our budget stuff, pictures, etc. (they're backed up for the most part, but still).

Thank you!
