The answer to this is simple, you have malware residing on your PC which has 'hijacked' Internet Explorer which is an all too common ocurrence. Now you haven't told me what OS is installed on your PC but I'll assume for now that you have Windows XP installed. For a quick guide to malware & spyware click hereTo resolve the problem you need to disable 'System Restore' ( click here for how), then scan your PC for viruses using Trend Micro Housecall. Now you've removed the trojans from your system you need to remove the spyware/malware. To do this, download and install Spybot from HERE, then run through the procedure of scanning you system for spyware and remove anything it finds. Once all the nasties have been removed take my advice and stop using IE. Instead use something else like Mozilla Firefox or Opera and you won't get this problem again. Hope that helps.
