Your little bugs crawling on the screen is malware.

I would post a HijackThis log for a log specialist to take a look. HijackThis is available here:

Use "Do a system scan and save a log file", and notepad will open with a log of what it finds, copy and paste the contents here. Don't ask it to fix anything.
