If you run noanti-spyware, my very strong guess is that you are infected.For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willingto pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do notrun more than one) of the following three: Avira AntiVirAvastMicrosoft Security Essentials You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download andinstall (both freeware) MalwareBytes AntiMalware andSuperAntiSpyware. In your situation, I strongly recommend that you download and run bothMalwareBytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware. Ken Blake (MS MVP)
