    Not enough information really! Do you have an up to date anti-virus program installed and have you scanned the system recently. Do you have a firewall and any anti-spyware programs? How to do connect to the internet? What operating system are you using and is it up to date?

    sounds like a spyware/virus, but could be a redunant dial up/ network connection box. really need more info.
