Sounds to me that you have some malware installed that is hijacking your browser.

I suggest you run a virus, adware, and malware scanners to see what they find.

There is a program named hijackthis and there is a forum at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum22.html where you can get help.

Go there, read the instructions "Preparation Guide For Use Before Using Malware Removal Tools and Requesting Help" and see if they can help you.
