You have a trojan onboard. 1) Scan with current antivirus ("current"
means a version not earlier than 2002 but using updated virus
definitions); 2) continue the maintenance and remove spyware with
Spybot Search & Destroy (www.safer-networking.org) and Ad-aware
(www.lavasoftusa.com). These programs are free, so use them both since
they complement each other. Be sure to update these programs before
running, and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode.
