You're system is most likely infected. For viruses, start with Trend Micro’s Sysclean and McAfee’s Stinger. Download them and the Sysclean signature file. Delete the temporary internet files, turn off system restore, boot into safe mode and run them. Boot back into normal mode and run a full AV scan with your normal AV program. Then turn system restore back on.

You should also regularly run at least two of these online scans in addition to your regular up to date AV program:
Online and Downloadable Virus Scanning:
Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
Bit Defender Online Virus Scan: http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/license.php
Symantec Online Virus and Security Scan: http://security.symantec.com/ssc/home.asp
TrendMicro: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
McAfee Online Virus Scan: http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp
RAV AntiVirus - Scan Online http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
F-Secure: http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml
Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update and run them weekly.
