Hi monocco 
You may have a nasty hijacker on your system causing this problem. In
addition to running your updated anti-virus program, you should do the
following to be sure none of these or other malware present on your system.
Some variants of malware can replicate themselves over and over if not
removed properly. Please follow all instructions carefully to be sure your
system is thoroughly cleaned:

http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the HijackThis. Please DO NOT post your log to this
newsgroup, but to the SpywareInfo as indicated, or the Aumha HiJackThis
forums
at http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to
evaluate your log and advise you of the necessary steps to clean your
system.
CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.
Also, get a copy of WINSOCKFIX available at:

and

(NOTE: It is reported that in XP SP2, the command netsh winsock reset
will fix this problem without the need for these programs.)
