Have you tried any malware scans? If not I'd try MalwareBytes free version first:
Malwarebytes
Have you had any blue screens? It's a lot easier to figure things out sometimes when there is a minidump to work with.
If not I would follow the above advice as well as running a check disk and possibly a memtest if you still haven't found the problem.
The fact that it's spreading to other software more than likely means it's progressing.
...I have a feeling you may find something with malwarebytes though.
i cant get malbytes or what ever its called till sunday cos im dont have net connection. and i havent ever had a bsod since i put 7 xp and ubuntu on. running the memory diagnostics now will tell u what happens for your information it is only 7 that is f**king up
Flush the DNS cache and restore MS's Hosts file.
Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
Save as flush.bat to your desktop.Right click and choose to run as Administrator. Your computer will reboot itself.

A consistently increasing halt level with interactive programs could actually be a antivirus / security app getting carried away. (I don't even know if you have one based on the information provided above) If you do I would suggest disabling it temporarily (firewall and AV both) and seeing if the program behaves normally.
