    It's likely your browser has been hijacked, first if you've installed any recent tool bars or have any new tool bars at the top of your browser window often uninstalling these tool bars through the Windows Add/Remove programs will resolve this issue.

    Otherwise I'd suggest trying a spyware program such as Windows Defender and scanning and cleaning the computer of any spyware or other malware.
