With not much to go on here, it sounds like a classic case of spyware infestation. Try downloading and running both adaware and spybot. That should get you back up to speed.

maybe a virus then instead of spyware, if your AV software isnt picking anything up then go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hous...start_corp.asp and run that scan on your hard drives.
