Then you should do a complete virus & malware scan
Download & use Malwarebytes & Superantispyware
Remove all unnecessary toolbars using your Add/Remove programs in the control panel
If that doesn't help. call your local PC nerd to assist you
Just to expand a little bit on this and hope it helps you.
It sounds to me like you have what's called adware on your computer. Or something similar. You often get this when you download something and don't notice that other programs are included in the installation package or download. That's why a virus scan might not catch this. You need to disable and uninstall the programs that are causing you grief.
You can see a list of programs installed on your computer by using the Windows uninstall utility. Just click the start button and type "uninstall" in the search box and it will bring up a list for you. Click on "Uninstall a program." The utility should start and you can see a list of programs that are installed on your computer. You can then uninstall programs that you don't need. If you are not sure of what to delete and what to keep, then find someone to help you out. Or start searching to see if any of those programs might be adware and get rid of them. Don't delete anything if you aren't sure what it is. Google it. Ask someone.
Start with that and report back what you have found.
