This is some generic advice for most newer or less tech aware PC users but will get rid of most internet related issues.
Uninstall IE 7 as it is buggy and not very good, go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ and download Firefox. It could do pretty much everything IE 7 could do and do it better months ago.
Download the free version of Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com install, update and run this will remove any adware/malware you may have inadvertently picked up.
Download AVG's free anti-virus from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 install, update. This is a perfectly reputable antivirus that actually works and is completely free. Beats any of that McAfee or heaven forbid Norton rubbish.
Download Ccleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ or any other shareware download site, install and run. This clears all your internet caches, history etc In fact you can use it to clear out your registry of bogus and unnecessary entries, delete files permanently to military standards and set it to run at startup so your computer is secure whoever uses it.
All this software is legal, free and actually works. In fact whilst you are at it go to ZoneLabs and get their free firewall if they still do it for free that way you can disable Windows Firewall at the same time but that is a different story.....

Personally I'd dump IE7 & revert to IE6, or better still use firefox. IE7 seems to be causing no end of problems, according to the number of complaints.
And run a virus and malware scan.

I had the same problem. In the source box go there and at bottom left of the page there is a free Firefox download. Use this browser and the problem will go away. You might even find it is a better browser anyway.
