    Are you running anitvirus software with up to date virus definitions?  Many of the more recent viruses can cause this.  Have you eliminated all spyware and internet parasites from your computer?  These can cause this as well.  If you haven't, download, install, update, and run Spybot and Ad-Aware

    http://www.lavasoft.de/index.html Ad-Aware

    http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download  Spybot

    Let these programs remove all the garbage that they find.  Then, go to the following site and download and run cwshredder.

    If these still don't clear up the problem, go to the following site and follow the directions to download and run the analysis tool called HijackThis.  Generate a log file, then open it and copy and paste the text of the log file in a message in the Virus Information and Removal forum where one of the HijackThis experts can offer advice on how to fix the problem:
