Could be you've downloaded some kind of unwanted spyware
and/or backdoor program along with a
utility/functionallity you really wanted to install.
Have you looked in your startup folder? You may have
several folders if you have activated personalized user
accounts on your comp.
If you're familiar with the registry editor program (an
original Windows feature) try searching for the program
there.
If you find it, and are familiar with backing up/editing
the registry, you will probably know what to do by now.
