    Sounds like you have a trojan. You might want to get a network monitoring utility that hijacks outbound calls and asks for your approval. I use a mac and one good choice is a program called Little Snitch. For windows, you might want to try ZoneAlarm. And, as always, wiping your hard drive and reinstalling windows will solve the problem.
