Joe...sounds like a nasty one and potentialy expensive.

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000578.htmI would suggest D/l .....Ad-Aware 6 build 181 ( free)
.....SpyBoot S&D ( free)
.....Hijackthis (free)
.....cwshredder ( free)
The download links are listed in the link above........
I would suggest :
1. run a virus scan with your current updated anti virus.
2. run Ad-aware ....quarantine or delete all that it finds.
3. run SpyBot ....and fix anything it finds.
Then if you still have the problem.....Run Hijack this and save the log and post it here for us to look at. We should be able to help .
Good Luck
