Definitely sounds kind of like what I have; a trojan. But the other guys on here know exactly what to tell you and they have already helped me. Malwarebytes, hijackthis, and combofix are the favorite programs to use so they will probably want you to download these. (have them downloaded and ready to install/use) This will save some time, but I wouldn't run any of them till they tell you to. These programs have the potential to mess your computer up even more...
