You have a parasite.
For details see:
Parasite:Transponder
http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/Transponder.html, and,
http://www.cexx.org/vx2.htm which states:
"If you have this unwanted guest you probably have others as well. Get a
copy of AdAware from
http://www.lavasoftusa.com, install it, run it and
download the latest updates, then scan your system and clean everything it
finds. When complete, restart the system and scan it again. Keep scanning,
cleaning and restarting until the system tests clean. Some stubborn pests
may require a restart in Safe Mode to clean them if they persist through
several scan/clean cycles.
You may also want to get the CoolWeb Shredder from here since it targets one
specific, often-changing spyware program:
http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html"
You may have problems in accessing merijn's site at the moment as it is
currently under attack, probably by those responsible for CoolWebSearch. If
you can't get to that site the latest v1.50.1 is also available from
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip
In addition I would also recommend that you also download and use Patrick
Kolla's SpyBot S & D which can be found at
http://www.safer-networking.org/
since SpyBot will often pick up parasites missed by AdAware.
