Hi,

You are infected, several viruses can cause that behavior. While you clean
it up, use the emergency tools descibed by MVP Doug Knox:

Greetings --

The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha

W32.Spybot.Worm

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.
