Bryan,
It sounds like you had (and still have) malware installed. Try these
parasite removal programs in this order.
First, download and run Run CWShredder from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
Then download, install, *update* and run both of these programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items listed in red-others are
optional.)
Both programs should be updated after installation- before use.
