Default Virus!

Hi, I've just come home to find what I presume must be a virus on the family home computer. Whenever Norton scans, it is scanning a multitude of .avi files which are clearly porn, or have pornographic names. They seem to be being found in a folder which does not exist, even when hidden folders are made visible, for example: g:\Documents And Settings\*username*\l\...*name of porn movie.avi*
So i'm not at all sure what's going on! Or what or where this mysterious 'l' folder is! :S
Furthermore, there is a problem with the taskbar - when the arrow to open up hidden items is clicked, all that happens is several end brackets appear, then another arrow. It now seems to have been frozen - it still says the internet is disconnected, even though it is connected now
I also don't seem to be able to access Task Manager or regedit.
Finally, it takes 4 or 5 attempts to start up the computer if left off for long periods, and it says 'overclocking failed' even though i believe this has been turned off!

Phew, i think that's it! Any help with any of these problems much appreciated.
Thanks, Luke
