You are facing spy-ware and ad-ware issues. Running a scan from anti virus or spy ware product wont fix the issues completely as these spy ware contains hidden license agreements and always comes up with new signatures so take some help with professionals because you have to delete some files manually from registry and physical locations.
on line symantec support number is 877-788-4877 this a toll free number and the technician's will take the control of your computer (remotely) and fix the problem try it it really works

It sounds as if you might have some spyware on your computer.
If I were you, I would avail myself of the free trials of some good anti-spyware programs such as CounterSpy.
Try their free 15 day trial of the full system and see what it picks up.
It cannot hurt to try and unlike anti-virus programs, you can run more than one anti-spyware program on your computer.

Probably you got some spyware in your system.
Try fixing it first with Ad-Aware 2007 or SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.4
Second, if you are using Internet Explorer, try IE add-on called Quero at http://www.quero.at/
It can improve your browsing and get rid of ads.

Both Google and Yahoo depend on advertising for their revenue. Most users do not pay them anything for the services, so they have to get their money for their employees, hardware, and software from someplace.
