First, have you installed firefox (latest version) to see if the problem occurs just in IE? If FF works fine, then you probably have some BHO (browser helper object) or other spyware causing problems with IE. There's lots of ways to deal with those, but I'd start with ad-aware.

Probably spyware or virus.

A hint on how to keep this from happening. Stop using MSN and instant messenger, get yourself an internet connection with a good "local service provider", then use IE6, Symantec anti-virus, Zone Alarm firewall, either Adaware or Microsoft (currently BETA) anti-spyware, use outlook express program for e-mail, keep O/S patched up-to-date at all times. This combination works, I know because I have 4 machines running it and I hardly ever have any problems.

Good luck.
