KeymasterHmm, seems you got an adware.
Try Ad Aware http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10319876.html?tag=lst-0-2
You may have to run it twice or reboot computer for seviorly infected system.
If that can’t remove that adware/spyware ask someone who knows computer well to remove it menually.
This is yahoo forum so you should have posted this in one of the off topic forums. (See the list of forums by clicking “forums” link on the left hand menu of the main page of bigblueball.com)

MemberI’d also scan with Spybot S&D, in addition to the above, as it picks up things which Ad-Aware SE does not. Ad-Aware also picks up things which Spybot does not.
