It sounds as if your browser has been 'hijacked'. There's some
material here that you may find informative:

if you can find a way to navigate to a website, I would recommend
downloading lava soft's ad aware. It is a free program that will
disable any annoying spyware or browser hijacking software that may
have been installed on your computer.

You can get to it from http://www.lavasoftusa.com
