me, neither. Does sound like some kind of infection.
You need to check to see if you have a recovery partition. Also, even though the vendors don't provide CDs anymore, they generall provide either a way to burn a recovery CD, or a boot option that will restore the OS to its original state.
You may need to check with HP if the documentation doesn't tell you which you have or how to use it.
Even then, a full recovery is going to blow away EVERYTHING you have -- files, data, apps, settings.
Would be better to see if you can boot into safe mode first and do a system restore.
If you end up having to do a full recovery, back off your data and settings first to an external device. But, you will have to reinstall any and all apps that didn't come preloaded.
