virus-like "sprite"

hi. apparentyl i have this thing called a "sprite" on my computer that changes what program it affects. what this srpite does is when the selected application is chosen - lets say solitaire - this sprite runs instead, and its wierd because it switches programs in what seems like random order.

pentium 2
96 megs of RAM
56k connection
generic HD
windows 98 FirstEdition
