   i had a longer reply written earlier but lost it :(    
      
   this really sounds like you have an ""injecter"" infestation... in other   
   words, an addon or ""helper"" that has gotten in with or without your   
   knowledge...   
      
   to KIS, lookup hijackthis and drop by one of the numerous sites that offer   
   diags for hijackthis... i /think/ bleepingcomputer.com is one of those...   
   check them out... sign up for a free account and post your hijackthis logs   
   following their instructions and those of the individual that chooses to   
   assist you... they will likely have you download other cleanup tools and they   
   will give you specific instructions to follow... do not deviate! follow them   
   exactly... in all instances that i have followed (not participated in!) the   
   infestation has been cleared... they may or may not tell you exactly what the   
   problem was but they do get the shite cleared off ;)    
      
   i don't know if they still support XP systems... i think i understand that   
   that is what you are (still) running... the sole remaining winwhatever box we   
   have here is my personal laptop running vista and when the OS on it dumps, it   
   will be joining the rest of our boxen running one of the (k)buntu LTS   
   versions...
