Go to this website:
"Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites"
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Download and run the program called: "HijackThis"

The program called: "Ad-aware" might be helpful too.

You have probably inadvertently downloaded and installed adware,
spyware, parasite, trojan or a browser hijacker from some web site:
