if your using your computer to write important papers i trust your making regular back-ups of your work.

if not make copies on floppys/cd now

you say your system has been compromised and system files are missing and/or corrupted. the best thing for you to do is reformat and re-install the OS.

before do anything else install the latest anti-virus software then connect to the internet and get the latest signiture updates.

download and install all patches/fixs for your OS

Assumming your using a software firewall get the latest version

Scan the back-up copies of your work for virus/trojan infections before you put them back on your computer.

sounds like you may have been infected with a virus but with the information youve given it could be anything. trying to correct the problems you now have will take longer and they'll be no assurance your system is secure.

Start over and learn from this experiance then make it a priority to learn safe computer practices the most important of which is to have good up to date protective software.
