Hi,

This generally happens for the most part, when IE is not set as your default
browser. To test: Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Reset Web Settings and
place a check in the lower box that reads: Internet Explorer should check
to see whether it is the default browser.

Sounds like spyware of some type. Try downloading Spybot.
