That sounds weird. You could check for viruses and spyware by running the scans below. If you are clean, I would do a system restore back to before this problem started.
Download, update and run Spybot—http://www.safer-networking.org/…… . Don’t forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run SuperAntiSpyware—http://www.snapfiles.com/get/SuperAntiSpyware.html
Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place….
Download SpywareBlaster—http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html…
SpywareBlaster doesn’t scan and clean for spyware – it prevents it from ever being installed.
It’s main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer. References : http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-gwpO2kQjd65gVHQHhx0b5oc-?cq=1&list=1
