You have bots, install/update/and run adaware & spybot. Also, go to trendmicro.com/spyware-scan and run it. It is new and works very, very well.

If this just started happening within the last few days try to restore a previous registry. Start up the computer. Before the OS starts to load start tapping F8. A menu should come up. Choose 'command prompt only'. At the c:\> prompt type scanreg/restore and enter. Choose a registry to restore with a date that precedes the problem.

If you don't have a registry from before the problem this may help:

If you do run the registry restore you may need to run hijackthis again and remove the items you previously removed. That's because the restored registry will still show them.

Don't you have your firewall up? If not
than that's most likely the problem.
