Hi and welcome to TSF.
It sounds like your computer could be infected.
Have you scanned your computer for malware?

As grumpygit suggested, the system may be infected.

Please read this sticky: If you think your computer is infected....

Be sure to reach Step 5. If you cannot complete any of the 5 steps for whatever reason, just continue on with the next one until they are all completed, and post your logs in The HJT Help Forum, not here; where an Analyst will assist you. However, it is very important to make mention of any of the steps that you were not able to complete.

After you’ve posted your logs, please be patient, as the Security Team Analysts are very busy.
