Hi gerbil, thank you for helping.
Fortunately it turned out it was not a virus, but just a toolbar with advertisement purposes ( with a smiling leprechaun :-D)
Anyways, I found a removal guide for the exact same thing http://www.xp-vista.com/spyware-removal/gqs-donedrive-net-removal-guide and I followed the steps as shown there.
You recommended malwarebytes, so I downloaded it and did a scan. Things look good now. Thank you :-)
