search problem with...

I don't know why but lately when I use Google to search for something, and it comes back with the results of the search, immediatly another page jumps infront of it from internet explorer with almost identicle results. I can't figure out how to get rid of this second search nor why it started doing it when I never requested it. Any ideas?

Download, install and run ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy.

Also, make sure your antivirus is up to date and do a virus scan. Sounds like you've got some spyware going on in your machine.
