Shanti:

Seems you have developed a case of spyware. Go to the following website and
download the "Spybot-Search and Destroy" utility which is freeware.
http://www.safer-networking.org/ You should be able to use it without
causing you more problems.

Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate
the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
