It would seem that your computer has been infected by some form of malware.
I would advise finding a reputable anti-virus and firewall for your computer and letting it run a scan while disconnected from the internet. Personally I use a combination of ZoneAlarm Extreme Security and AVG Anti-virus. I also use a well known preventative software called Spybot Search & Destory which is helpful to protect you from visiting dangerous sites or being harassed by advertising.
If you have tried an anti-virus program and still have this issue please let us know.

Sounds like Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.
(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)
These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
