You have a trojan on your system:

If you do not have a current version antivirus installed (not earlier
than 2004) with an active subscription and updated virus definitions,
first scan with either Sysclean (instructions at first link below) or
Dave Lipman's Multi-AV.

After you have finished your initial scan, get a full-featured av,
install it, update it, and do a thorough scan in Safe Mode. Then
continue your cleaning by scanning for non-viral malware. You can
follow the general malware removal steps at the first link above.
