I met simular behavour of some adware that was living in winlogon.exe as
Notification Package.
Try to boot your machine from last known configuration, or play with booting
modes.

You need to check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify registry key - usually adwares/spywares
protect its values in winlogon notify and explorer bho
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects) keys.
Store these keys, then delete them and reboot manually. if problem will be
continuing, restore keys.

Another idea, maybe this is the problem of your system. Can you analyze and
post (if necessary) system logs ?
