Sounds like you've got yourself a hijacker.  Download AVG Anti-Spyware and Ad-Aware, update both of them, and scan with them in Safe Mode (not at the same time).  Post back with your results, any problems you're still having, and a list of your current protection programs so we can help you improve your aresnal.
