Yup - I would go with Piyush on this. Your computer may well have been recruited as a "bot" or "zombie" - and may be Ddos'ing somebody or spamming. I would DISCONNECT it as soon as possible, and use a clean machine to download and copy some Anti-Virus software onto a CD. Install that, then make sure you get yourself Serviec Pack 2 if you are using Windows XP.
Avoid .ru and .ro links - it is a sad fact that a huge proportion of the current wave of computer crime, ransoming with DDoS, virus and spam issues are coming from Romania and Russia. They also commonly use Chinese, Taiwanese and some other East Asian machines for attacks as they are not very well protected. The great firewall of China- Prevents freedom of speech, while letting every virus and spambot sail cleanly through.
