Hi, I would also suggest downloading the free version of
Zone Alarm. This is a firewall that will tell you whenever
anything on your computer is trying to access the internet
and vice versa. Just goto the following URL:-
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znal
m/freeDownload.jsp
They also offer a service to clean spyware and adware from
your computer but I don't know how effective this is as
I've never tried it.
Have you also considered the possibility that you have a
virus? I know this seems to be a knee jerk reaction
whenever anything strange happens with someones computer,
but if the adware removal tool doesn't work you might want
to try a free online virus scan from mcafee:-

Hope it all works out for you
Phill
