i had a longer reply written earlier but lost it :(
this really sounds like you have an ""injecter"" infestation... in other words,
an addon or ""helper"" that has gotten in with or without your knowledge...
to KIS, lookup hijackthis and drop by one of the numerous sites that offer
diags for hijackthis... i /think/ bleepingcomputer.com is one of those... check
them out... sign up for a free account and post your hijackthis logs following
their instructions and those of the individual that chooses to assist you...
they will likely have you download other cleanup tools and they will give you
specific instructions to follow... do not deviate! follow them exactly... in
all instances that i have followed (not participated in!) the infestation has
been cleared... they may or may not tell you exactly what the problem was but
they do get the shite cleared off ;)
i don't know if they still support XP systems... i think i understand that that
is what you are (still) running... the sole remaining winwhatever box we have
here is my personal laptop running vista and when the OS on it dumps, it will
be joining the rest of our boxen running one of the (k)buntu LTS versions...
