You probably have spyware. Download the new Yahoo toolbar with Norton Antispy. If it doesn't work, download Spybot at http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html
This is from Download.com. It is safe. Have a good day and I hope this helps.

First you need to download AVG 7.5 FREE. It's the best anti-virus out there. Also update your browser to IE 7 (it has anti-phishing). Update your Windows too (and turn on your windows firewall & pop-up blocker). Now if that doesn't work Grasshopper, you will need to format your hard drive and reload everything.
P.S. In the future don't click on anything in an IM you are totally UNPROTECTED then. Especially with online Russian hookers!

Download HijackThis---http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php#hijackthis.
Run and Save a Log. When you log comes up copy and paste the entire log at http://www.hijackthis.de/ . Analyze your results. You will then get a screen that will tell you if you have any nasty stuff in your computer. Follow instructions to deal with any nasties. CAUTION: This is a very powerful tool. Be careful.

Usually, it helps to download another anti- virus programm. Different programs are able to detect different viruses. Or, the virus might be in quarantine, try deleting all those as well.

Get Norton or McAfee virus tools and have it removed. There is also another one called AVG. Good Luck
