Hi
This might be the work of the Swen worm or something similar
(it could be from some spyware or parasite as well).
To try to solve your problem, do the following:
Run a cleanup tool, e.g. Stinger.exe from McAfee, it removes 30+
most common virus/worms in one sweep.
McAfee AVERT Stinger

Be sure to run an updated Antivirus program at all times.
For the Spyware and Parasites part, you will need to run other tools:
