You have a trojan. Scan your computer with a good virus cleaner. Try:

It sounds like you have a trojan dialler.
Switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
You need all these anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

Maybe you have a virus already. Scan the computer and try to remove it if one os there. You can search Yahoo, Google for infor on that droppeddialer and it will tell you what is is tand how to fix it. If that is not the problem, change the settings in you Antivirus software.
Here is the bitdefender support page, just ask the live assistant or email them. They will walk you through it in no time...

Does it happen on a certain site? are you running any other applications? try disabling the anti virus (you won't run many risks if oyu don't go on mad websites) then see if it does that OR try another anti virus system like symantec's Norton 2007

SpyXoft is another good program that you can get for free to detect and rid your system of many malicious programs.
