You need to clean all the spyware and such off your computer. A couple of decent utilities for this are Spybot and AdAware.

Spybot: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10401314.html?tag=lst-0-1

AdAware: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=lst-0-1

Also, check that your Hosts file has not been corrupted. It can be found at either \\Winnt\System32\drivers\etc or \\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

You should most likely have nothing in the Host file below the "127.0.0.1 localhost" line. If there is a bunch of stuff in there, try to find another, uneditted version to copy over.

Your computer had been infected by trojan. Trojan is a virus that can take control of your pc from other computer in the network. When other computer excess your computer, it become slower. When windows suddenly open or application running without clicking, this is the sign that your computer are being control by others over the internet. You can solve the matter only by removing the trojan. How to removed the trojan only via boot scan, cos when in the desktop the trojan is running and you cannot delete the trojan file.
Try to boot scan for virus using your antirus if you had them. If not download it here. After you install it will rebot and start boot scan. It is free.
