It happens because you quite possibly have an infected machine.
Use a clean, write-protected DOS boot floppy, and boot from that.  Then, use 
a good quality AV program like F-Prot, TBAV, or even McAfee and scan your 
system.
Many viruses can avoid detection if they have become active through booting 
from an infected hard drive.  That's why you need to boot from a floppy known 
to be clean, and write-protected to avoid accidents, before scanning.
