Sounds like spyware or a home page hijacker.

Run these tools:
spybot -- http://www.safer-networking.org/
ad-aware -- http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Wjview lets you view window-based Java applications.
A possible cause of the error message is if Wjview attempts to start an
application on your system that no longer exists. To check this, perform the
following steps:
1. Start / Run and type: msconfig and press OK
2. Select the Startup tab.
3. Scan the list for any entries that contain "wjview."
4. If you find any "wjview" entries, try disabling the Wjview startup
component and locate any associated folders identified in Msconfig that you
might need to delete to determine whether that solves the problem.
To delete the "wjview" entries rather than disabling them (and to check
under non-XP OSs), perform the following steps:
1. Open a registy editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry
subkeys.
3. Remove the invalid "wjview" entries.
