I'd suspect either Adware or a Virus causing your problems. Do you have an anti-virus program installed?

You can check out housecall antivirus to check for virusus if you don't have an antivirus program installed.

To check for adware, i'd suggest either AdAware by Lavasoft or, SpyBot - Search and Destroy, both of which have free versions that work very well.

Let us know if one of them has helped
