Your computer may have adware/spyware, or you might have a virus. Scan your computer using an antivirus if you have one, if you don't try downloading a free one like bullguard, or try one of the free online virus scan sites, or search download.com for AV software If its ad/spyware check out Ad-Aware 1.03 http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022-10308605.html?tag=lst-0-1 And SpyBot 1.3 http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022-10289035.html?tag=lst-0-2
