You are infested with malware,perhaps more than one type.the programs listed
below are all free and work well,I suggest that you install at the very least
Ad-Aware/Spybot/spywareblaster/CWShedder and LSP-fix and scan your system.
if more help is needed please post back here.
Good Luck
Sometimes,when you remove malware it will stop your TCP/IP
stack from working (Internet connection).
Winsock or LSP-fix will correct the problem,Download first.
Note to anyone using NOD32 Anti-Virus software,Do Not delete the
"imon.dll" this fix reports,That is your e/mail scanning engine.
YES-You need more than 1 malware program,I use all of these.
