I think your computer has a Copy-Paste Virus For Bitcoin.
The virus changes your address while copying, and uses an address with the same starting characters so it looks the same. For that reason you shouldn't just check the first characters, but also the last, and a few in the middle too.

The "unspent outputs" are normal in Bitcoin, it will be unspent until the virus-maker decides to use it. Your money is gone.

You should consider your computer compromised: backup, format and reinstall.
