Persistant Attacks

[KarenLS]

I have run several AV programs and the only infection found has been Trojan.Autoit which I quarantine but it keeps coming back. I don't think it's the problem though after reading descriptions of it.

This virus or trojan horse has been attacking intermittently for a couple weeks now. Once it hits the only way out is to shut down the computer.

The symptoms are I am working on a document or typing and an email and suddenly blank lines or repeating symbols like + start appearing to infinity. Right click becomes disabled. Next I get exploding pop ups of an image on my HDD or an email that is opened without me doing it.

I have one external HDD.

I use Firefox 3.5.1 as my browser. OE for email.
