    looks like spyware to me. Suggest you download malwarebytes antimalware https://www.malwarebytes.org free,
    download, install, update and run a quick scan, if it finds any thing, delete, usually on the left side. Then run a heavy scan.

    Hijackthis 2.02 http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/
    run this and create a log file, post here. log file should open in notepad, select ALL and paste.

    Download and run the FREE version of DR WEB
    http://www.freedrweb.com/download+cureit/gr/
    Turn your anti virus OFF
    It will auto QUICK scan
    After that set to scan the WHOLE computer and press the 'play' icon
