Hi Matt,

Sounds like your browser has been hijacked.  You should download and run HiJack This and post back your log so someone can check it out for you.  If you already have HiJackThis, make sure it's the latest release - 1.98.2
If you haven't you can get it from here.

Make sure you save it into it's own folder ie c:\HJT then run it, save the log and then post the log here.

Good luck

I suggest you head to the Viruses & Spyware section and read the Please Read This First - Viruses & Spyware sticky.

Install the programs recommended.

OS is an abbreviation for operating system.

I suggest you read through any documentation that came with the programs.
