i tried to open my computer but i can’t access to “documents and Setting”

i only think this happened because of a virus, before i encounter this i inserted a USB from my friend… and then a dialog box suddenly appeared which i just ignored.. still that dialog box appears in my desktop and can’t be removed.

I put the computer together and went to turn it on the modem comes on with power however the monitor will not display anything on screen and everytime i turn it on regardless of it hooked up to modem or not it will turn itself off within 5 seconds of it coming on. I have tried several different things such as holding the power button in as it comes up, i have tried the control alt delete, i have pressed any and all buttons as soon as it comes on, no matter what i do it will cut itself off within 5 seconds like it is stuck in a sleep mode. Is there something at all that i can try?

In the event section in computer management I am seeing special logon with account name system (which is different from my account name) and event id 4672.

Does this mean my pc is hacked?

All of my browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) hang, upon attempting to reach the Yahoo Main page, or attempting to log on to my Skydrive account… Skydrive explorer also does not log on to skydrive.

It’s not an https issue because Yahoo does not use https to go to the main page. This problem must have to do with other than the browser, so don’t tell me it’s the browser. So what must be common to both Yahoo and Skydrive inside my computer (Windows XP professional)? and please don’t insult my intelligence by suggesting malaware, viruses or the like… all the obvious stuff has been checked… this is why this is a challenge, for people who really know… no obvious registry issues, so what else could it be?

The hosts file contains nothing except the factory settings.

Any ides and thanks for any help offered.

I know this might be a bit off topic but seeing that a bunch of you own websites, where would the best place be to host. Someone recommended I use Blue Host for $6.95 a month which seems like a great deal. Anyone here on www.general-computer-questions.com using them?
