You have Spyware. No your probably not infected with a destructive virus but make sure your virus definitions are up to date. You should also look into some type of Anti-Spyware like Microsofts Free Defender(http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx) although lately that seems to suck, so maybe adaware or Spybot. Look for those at downloads.com. As for removal of SpyDawn ---> http://www.xp-vista.com/spyware-removal/spydawn-removal-instructions
Try the auto removal tool.
