Looks to me like you are infected with some malware, at the least, this:

Parasite.Internet Optimizerhttp://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/InternetOptimizer.html

Adware.NetOptimizerhttp://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.netopt...

Follow the procedures here:http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm

I would submit a HijackThis scan to an appropriate forum.

Download HijackThis1.99.1 from one of these locations:http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HJTsetup1991.exehttp://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HJTsetup.exehttp://security-central.us/downloads/HJTsetup.exe

Installation instructions:http://forum.malwareremoval.com/viewtopic.php?t=16805

or HijackThis2 from one of these locations:http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HJTInstall.exehttp://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe

HijackThis2 Quick Start Guide:http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.p...

Install, then run HijackThis, and click the Scan button.

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My Documents, or
similar).
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.

Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at ONLY ONE of these forums:http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30http://forum.malwareremoval.com/viewforum.php?f=11http://forums.spywareinfo.com/http://castlecops.com/forum67.html

In your post, please state your problem clearly and what you've done so far to fix
it.

The folks there will tell you what to remove.

See the "housekeeping" they ask you to complete before you post your log:http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=4075

A tutorial for using Hijack This is located here:http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/

==============

There is ZERO malware on my machine! I have HiJackThis, and run it all
the time. I have Zone Alarm, and run it every day.
I have Adaware, and run it ever 2 days or so. I have SUPERAntiSpyware
Professional, and run in once a week.
I have Microsoft's Windows Defender, that I run once in a blue moon.
OH, and I use Firefox, NOT IE!
<sigh>
Thanks anyway!

Aside from the fact that none of that guarantees that you have no malware on your system, including the fact that you use Firefox, which is becoming a malware target due to its increasing popularity....could you please tell us then, what your optimizer.exe is, what it does, and from where did you get it?
