2. Couple of suggestions
(1) If it's infected the Windows OS, check add/remove programs and see if you can locate a suspicious prgram that might be the malware installed on your machine.

(2) Could be an Acyive X program installed on in your browser. Check your Tools/Internet Options/Settings/View Objects file. Check the properties of this objects and see if they might be malware programs that take over your browser.

Also, if you don't have it, I'd suggest getting/installing Zone Alarm to control the ports that allow unfettered access into your computer.
