what does it change to you may have a hijacker

if those two don't help then do this

First, create a folder for HijackThis in the root folder of your hard drive

example

C:/HJT

C/hijackthis

next

Click here (http://www.sherrylynn.us/HijackThis.exe) to download Hijack This. Save it to it’s own folder you have just created
Close all open windows and open HIJACK THIS. Click “Scan”[/b] . When the scan is finished (it only takes a second), the scan button will change to“Save Log”. Click on“Save Log” and save it to NotePad. Copy the entire log and paste it here.

DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET , most items that appear in the log are harmless or even needed. Wait for someone to analyze the scan and advise
