Possible virus or spyware infestation.

Make certain that your antivirus software is completely up to date
with the virus definitions not more than a week old and do a complete
virus scan of the computer. Then get a "second opinion" from one of
the following free online virus scanner sites:

Check for spyware by using MVP Jim Eshelman's free online spyware scan
at http://aumha.org/a/noads.htm then remove anything that it finds by
using Jim's Spyware Quick Fix procedure at

Good luck
