Could be spyware, if you have Windows XP do yourself a favour and download the Microsoft antispyware app. It works and is free.

Spybot is another freebie that's pretty effective...

Download this

It deletes spyware and such, it's WAY better than spybot S&D or adaware.

I see your problem was solved.

Make sure to run the anti-spyware once a week aong with your anti-virus so the problem doesn't resurface.
