You are loaded up with SpyWare/Malware or possibly even a virus W32/Nachi or similar. Check your virus status first. A good program to use if your Windows Viruscanner is compromised is eith NOD32 for DOS trial at:

Or Mcafee's Stinger at:

After you are virus free then attach SpyWare.
For the Spyware/Malware the two Free scanners are AdAware 6 at:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
And Spybot Search & Destroy at:
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download
Afetr Installing each check for updates before proceeding. Both have several cool tricks, Adaware has a custom search that can search your Hosts file and your archived files as well. SPpybot S&D has an new program called Teatime that doesn't install by default you have to check the box ehn you are installing. SPybot S&D also has an Immunization program.
Another excelent program is SpySweeper from www.webroot.com, it allows for one update and then you need to purchase to get anymore updates. It will find a lot that the two free one didn't.
I also use PestPatrol which also costs money. It is locate dat:
http://www.pestpatrol.com/ and they have a free pest scan if you can stay on the Internet long enough.
Steve Gibson also has several really good security tools at:
www.grc.com
When you are all clean, get the free ZoneAlarm 4.5 at:
http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1043_zl/zapSetup_45_594_000.exe
This is a slighly older version, but the is a problem with verersin 5.0.
Or even better buy the Pro version.
If you don't have a virus scanner you can get a good free one at:
http://www.free-av.com/
or:
AVG v 7.0 at:
