I would recommend getting and updating a virus scanner...a great free one is at http://www.avast.com . In addition, you may also want to ensure you have no spyware by getting something like Windows Defender from http://www.microsoft.com/spyware

Yahoo can possibly help if you want to download the Yahoo toolbar and use their anti-spyware program. But you also need to have Norton or McAfee or some other anti-virus program on your machine - run a scan and try to get rid of whatever you have. There are other good free anti-spyware programs you can download, such as Ad-Aware by Lavasoft. Be careful because there is alot of nasty stuff out there, disguised as anti-spyware.
