I'd start with a complete on-line virus scan, just to make sure your resident virus scanner hasn't been compromised. Trend House Call on-line Virus Scan

Next, download this Ad-Aware or this SpyBot Search-N-Destroy, install, update the signatures, and do a full scan. Repair all the items.

After you fix the problem, I use Spyware Blaster from here to prevent many forms of spyware from loading:Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard

Finally, if you still have problems, get HijackThis and post a log. HijackThis and CWShredder
