Sounds like you have adware/spyware on your system. Use some free spyware program and that should take it out. If you need help go here http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridofspyware.html

Check out this Malicious software removal software from Microsoft - http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
Also, check out Windows Defender - http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
Both are free and pretty darn good. You can also download a software package called Adaware, which is also free. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
