Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and do an online virus scan. It sounds like you have been infected with something.

I think major threat like a virus/trojan has attack your pc. I suggest just installing XP again(clean install), then install just the drivers with the mobo. The rest of the application put on hold, update the latest patches, get Lavasoft adware & Spybot S & D 1.3. Run those. Run your AV program. Then you may install the application that came with the mobo, just install what you need. You don't have to install all. Mostly its junk anyway.
