Do you run a firewall and anti virus program? If not you really should,
connecting to the internet without protection is like sex with a
stranger without protection, one day you will catch something really
nasty.
Also download and install Lavasoft's Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoft.de/)
and Spybot Search and destroy
(http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html) and see what they find.
I am beginning to think that you have some sort of virus/trojan.
