You probably have a trojan or other form of spyware:
My recommendations on how to remove virii, spyware, adware, and other malware problems:

First, go to [http://www.download.com/ ]: download, install and update the following:

-AVG Free Edition OR Avast! Free Edition antivirus
-Spyware Terminator (Comes with Real-Time Shield) AND SpywareBlaster AND Ad-Aware (optional)
-ZoneAlarm Free or Comodo Free Firewall

[If your computer doesn't already have an anti-virus, multiple anti-spyware programs, and a firewall.]

For heavy-duty jobs:
[http://www.download.com/ ]

-SUPERAnti-spyware
-Malwarebytes' Anti-malware *UPDATE THESE PROGRAMS TOO BEFORE YOU GO ON TO THE NEXT STEP*

Do a reboot into Windows Safe Mode:

1. Restart Windows.
2. Right when you hear your computer start up, start tapping F8 repeatedly.
3. Select "Safe Mode" in the menu that comes up.
4. Select your user account.
5. Done

Then, do a FULL SCAN with SUPER and Malwarebytes' and it will do a heavy-duty job.

Hope this Helps.
