Have a look at this lot while you wait for one of the guru's there's quite

You need to scan your system for parasites :
Do You Have Parasites ?
http://www.aumha.org/a/noads.htm
If you find that you do download and install AdAware:
http://lavasoftusa.com
Open AdAware ... Read the Help file to configure it to best scan your
system. Click on the globe icon to download and install the latest
definition files. Then scan your system . You may or may not be told
that some files were in use and AdAware needs the system rebooted and
will run on startup ... if this is not the case advise you to reboot the
system and run AdAware again.
Info on parasites and how to prevent them can be found here :
