I thought of that. But before that, I scanned the hard drive with Ad-Aware and it found these three malwares and deleted them.

The malware appeared to be hidden in the directory that System Restore uses.
Tried to use System Restore for a restore point six weeks ago but it reported that it could not restore to that point. So I don't know if Ad-Aware, when it deleted those files, compromised the system restore function.
