First use a friends computer download firefox. Firfox is a another/better broswer that internet explorer.

Second once firefox is installed download adaware found here --->

http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php (make sure you get the free version)

run it on a complete scan.

Next after that get malwarebytes ---->

http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (update it before using it)

I am on the track that you have either spyware or a virus but most likely spyware.


for Internet explorer try this only after the above do not fix the problem.

Let me know if any of this works so we can try some other things.
