You may have spyware on your system
Run the following(1 at a time)

Spybot Search and Destroy
 http://www.safer-networking.net/

Lavasoft AdAware

Hijack This!
 http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot,
etc., before each and every use, even "right out of the
box". But even they can't catch everything, 24/7. When
all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe)
is the preferred tool to use. It will help you to both
identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your
files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or

analysis,
