Make certain your antivirus software is completely up to date, with
the virus definitions not less than a week old, and do a complete
virus scan of your hard drive. Then get a "second opinion" by going
to
http://housecall.trendmicro.com and doing their free online virus
scan.
Next do a check for spyware and clean it up by following MVP Jim
Eshelman's Quick Fix procedure at
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm
If the problems persist after doing this then post a reply back here
and we will check further.
Good luck
