Part 1

Mr and Mrs Hourglass shouldn't be together. This sounds like a resident program in your memory that shouldn't be running. Most likely a worm virus. You'll probably notice your hard drive slowly diminishing. You'll need to either find a good virus removal package, or do a complete system restore using the disks that came with you computer.

Part 2

Normally you do have to leave your computer on for a scheduled event to happen. However, if you do leave it off, the scheduled scan you should start the next time you turn it on. I suggest you let it scan at least once every few days if you browse the internet at all.
