Very strange PC behaviour - can't even get to desktop...

One of my PC's is doing the following:
I boot the computer and it starts to load up. Instead of going straight to the desktop, it stops at a blue windows welcome screen where it has the username of the machine and it asks whether I want to log-in. This screen doesn't usually come up. When I choose to log-in as that username, the screen then flashes for a second and shows some adaware pop-up and then goes back to the welcome screen.
The machine then starts to shut down (displays messages saying it is logging-off) despite having chosen to log-in. This is very odd.
I cannot even get onto the desktop to try doing anything and this is intensely frustrating.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!
