There are a number of possible causes - the most likely are
1) System restore running rampant (are you using Norton??)
2) The Temporary Internet Files folder overflowing - go to Internet Options,
and use the Delete button - also delete the Offline Content, and then
restrict the folder to about 40MB
3) You may have a virus/spyware hijack
download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.
Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.
