Best run a thorough spyware and virus scan as soon as possible, also check your add/remove programs list for anything unusual.

What spyware and adware programs did you scan with. Also, did you update them before scanning? It certainly sounds like your computers been infected with something.

Here's a link to Hijackthis. Run it, and post a copy of the log, or run it through there is an automated log analyzer for immediate results. I'm not that good with hijackthis logs, so have a look at this page where they can provide better help.

In the meantime, download and run these if you haven't:
Adaware
Spybot S&D
Pandaware Activescan
