You must have bad Spyware. Install an anti-virus software PRONTO. There are some free ones you can download online, just make sure its from a reliable source. But the better ones you can buy in the stores.

Don't pay any attention to beer_farts. That's a standard cut and paste answer he gives to everyone. He knows nothing. He got that list from another forum and uses it here.
AdAware SE is very good at removing these adware programs. You can download it from Lavasoft, Filehippo,Snapfiles, Download.com and others. Sometimes the program used in normal mode can remove the infection. Many times the infecting software hides part in hidden files and restore point files. The best chance is to use the procedure to open these areas for the AS program to get in there and remove all parts of it.
Go here and follow the procedure. Download the programs she lists. AdAware is one of them. This procedure work whether you use AS or AV programs. It is a standard procedure.

You need some anti-mall ware. I have used Spy-Bot Search and Destroy with great success, and its free. I did make a donation after it solved my problem. Just use Altavista.com or another search engine to find the download site.

Ad Aware is total junk. I highly recommend you download SUPERantispyware. It will fix that problem. It is VERY VERY effective and it is free.
