ok me and my friend were on our computer when suddenly everything just went crazy. Firefox kept reopening itself until i had 124 windows, the taskbar kept opening and closing, i clicked on the start menu and it kept typing (..)..(..)..(..)..(..).. etc. and then it opened firefox and searched that. I noticed that it kept reopening everything else i opened (norton, my computer).
I downloaded the k lite codec pack from the codec site and plugged the mic into the audio jack. That's all i did before that.
my computer works now but i would like an explanation.

it is a virus attack... have you noticed any files missing on your PC?
how's the loading or the progress while you are using it?
monitor carefully your computer. look if there is something very peculiar on your PC after what happened, through that, we may know exactly what happened on it...
all i know or now is that, it is a virus attack.

"Virus attack" is what people call a Virus infection when they don't understand the concepts involved.

Well, now that we got that far, we can start to eliminate things.
Let's ask the OP to try and boot the system with a bootabel CD. Prfeferable a 'live' Linux, like Knoppix Ubuntu or Puppy.

http://www.ubuntu.com/
http://www.puppylinux.org/
If it fails to boot, we have a hardware problem.
Otherwise, Windows is messed up. :P
(He needs a working system to load and burn the CD.)
