Hi Kristian,
You likely have some spyware or adware installed on the system. These steps
should help:
1) Install and run Adaware from www.lavasoft.de
2) Install and run Spyware Blaster from
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
3) Dump all TIF's and selectively delete unwanted cookies
4) Turn on the native firewall or install a third-party one
