I am sorry to tell you this, but you probably got one of those "spyware". Have you tried to run your anti virus? If the one you have does not remove it, you would probably want to get Norton 360: although a bit expensive, it will help you to get rid of the spyware or any other virus your computer may have at the moment. It will also protect you in the future.
Now, if you don't want to do this, you may have to reboot your computer to a previous stage. Do you have Windows XP? It normally creates "recovery points" . Try to remember a date in which your computer worked without any problems, then select it from the list of recovery points and reboot your PC. You will lose all the programs you might have installed since that date but at the same time, you will get rid of the spyware.

For any infection with spyware/adware type issues I've found the 2 following FREE programs get pretty much everything, and you DO NOT need to do ALL the stuff answerer 1 posted in, for a simple infection, just run Adaware and Spybot. More details below.
I'd reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro www.lavasoftusa.com (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S&D from www.spybot.org (Again free for home use)
Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.

Chances are you have been infected with spyware. Follow the steps below to try and clean your system up.
Firstly update and run your anti-virus product. You can also run a free online scan as well as some malware can actually corrupt or disable your resident security products. Here are a few online scans you can run:
Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm
Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym
Second download, update and run scans using the following products:
SuperAntispyware
http://superantispyware.com/
Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating)
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
AVG AntiSpyware
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
(These programs can be run in Safe Mode after downloading and updating)
Third, after cleaning your system, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore when you log back on. This will clear the malware that may still be lurking in System Restore, which could be reinstalled should you need to rollback at some point. Additionally, a reboot may be required to complete the malware removal process.
Lastly, you may also want to install the following tool. It is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources.
SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)

================================
If you cannot get it removed after the above, you may want to join a tech group that specializes in providing manual instructions on malware eradication.

Google offers a nice, free pack of software that includes both an antivirus and an antispyware scanner. I had good luck cleaning up my computer and bringing it back to life using these tools. Plus, you can trust it since it comes from Google and not some no-name software company.
You can get the Google Pack here:

Good luck!

The specialized removal tool called RogueRemover is said to remove AVSystemcare:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/database.php
Use the free version. There is absolutely no reason to use the paid, "Pro" version when you want to remove only.
Good luck.
