Check your machine for parasites.
Run a full system virus scan with fully up-to-date defs.

**It is very important to run the update for each program before running to
be sure you have the latest definitions.** Run the programs in Safe Mode
after assuring you have shut down all running tasks except explorer or
systray and all apps are fully up to date.
Download/run Cool Web Shredder from:
http://www.intermute.com/products/cwshredder.html

For Info on Cool Web Search variants:
http://www.richardthelionhearted.com...hronicles.html

Then download/install/run Ad-Aware SE to detect/rid of any other
parasites/spyware that may be installed. It can be obtained free from:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
After installing Ad-Aware, open it and click on the ref update to get the
latest up-to-date ref file, then run Ad-Aware and delete everything it
finds.

And/or download/install/run:
Spybot - Search & Destroy:
http://security.kolla.de/index.php?l...&page=download
Run it at it's default settings until you learn an know more about it.
Spybot S&D is more of an advanced users tool and changing from the default
settings can be dangerous to the novice user. Items found in the default
settings that are RED can usually be safely removed. If you are unsure of a
found item, do not remove it and ask for help.

If you still have problems, download/run HijackThis from:
http://www.richardthelionhearted.com...downloads.html
http://majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html

Copy HJT to it's own folder, this is where the log files will be saved. Run
HJT in Normal Mode.
Do not remove anything with it until you get advice on what to remove,
HJThis will list many apps that are needed along with the bad ones. Removing
items listed hap-hazardly without knowing what they are can/will create a
royal mess. Read the quick start here on how to create a log file that can
be copied/pasted into a forum that can provide assistance on removal of
unwanted pests.
http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/#quick

Then post the logs to an appropriate forum where they specialize in
spyware/hijacker removal. Please read any sticky notes for proper posting
which are most commonly posted first at the top in each specific forum. Read
any information under each forum category name for information on what that
particular one is used for, look for the proper one that you post logs to.

After running the above and assuring you have a clean machine:
It's also a good idea to have a HOSTS file to block bad sites, scroll to
HOSTS File Manager he

Another good app is SpywareBlaster which stops the badboys before they even
get a chance to install:
