Sounds like virus or malware...you need to start in safe mode with networking and install/use virus and malware scanning programs to get rid of it.

I'd just bite the bullet, and do a clean install.
You can scan for days and not get it all.
A clean instal is a few hours at the most.

No question it's gone them.

If you did a clean install then it is not a virus or malware.

Unless you downloaded one right away.

It normally would point to hardware.

Not sure what hardware would open files, or windows.

A stuck key maybe, but even that dosn't sound possible.

I don't know if you have seen it before but I think that it could be a virus
