It sounds to me like your computer has a virus. A common attack is for criminals to hack your computer, encrypt your files so that you cannot access them and then charge to have your files unlocked. If this is the case, the only way to get your files back will be to restore from a backup or to pay.
I hope you have a backup. Anyone still using windows XP should expect to have their computer hacked. Windows XP is no longer supported and is extremely dangerous to use.
