It's malware, or improperly removed malware. I can't remember which flavour at the moment.
Carry out the procedures listed [highlight]in this post (http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1140729094/1#1)[/highlight] and post a Hijackthis logfile here when done.
If possible, zip the logfile and attach it rather than post it.
