Run an anti virus scan. It is probably ad-ware. Also, try uninstalling any recently installed software or browser helper objects (BHO's). Also make sure you have the most recent AV definitions. My laptop specs:

Hi,
You can try these things.
1) Start-Run type "msconfig" without quote marks. Select the Startup tab. Look for any references to weekly-prizes.com. Remove them if there are.
2) Start-Run type "Services.msc" without quote marks. Scroll down until you see Messenger (not msn messenger) and double click it, select disable.
3) You can also download Malwarebytes update and run a full scan, from this link:
