This even hit television news last night. You probably have been hijacked
by one of these sites, which is using your computer to send out their
"stuff"; guess whose door gets knocked on by the law, though? Saw on the
news story and have read on NG's to:
1) Get Adaware or similar program to clean it up
2)Activate a firewall which will alert you about impending invasions.

Anyone else with more specifics please post as this is obviously too general
but is a start.
