This is a Virus-type problem so I've moved your thread to the appropriate forum.

First, follow the advice in this thread:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread5690.html

Then go here to get Hijackthis:
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis_sfx.exe

Close all browser windows, scan with Hijackthis, save the log, then copy and paste it into this thread. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING WITH IT YET.
