Try virus software. (Norton Antivirus, or McAfee)
Or spyware software. (Lavasoft's AdAware)
Or protecting your computer with a firewall. (MS Windows XP comes with one)
By the way....this post is in the wrong category.

First you need to figure out what's wrong -- and that's the hard part. One thing that's probably wrong is way too many programs and services getting loaded when you boot like Real Audio, Quicktime, and other.
Look into Mike Lin's "Startup Control Panel" to remove unwanted startups. THat would be a good first step.
