Please tell us what OS you have.
And also you could try scanning the folder for viruses.

What about the type of antivirus scanner you have, and the last time you scanned your drive?

Downloading movies from P2P clients is bound to bring you a lot of trouble.

Have you done any virus scans yet?  Download AVG Free (you can find it on Google in a second), update it, and scan with it in Safe Mode.
