1. Your infected. Go here to remove the infection http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/index.php
2. If you can go online this is better. Run this antivirus from website. here it is: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/?WT.z_TMLinkArea=ThreatResourceCenter&WT.z_TMLinkName=HouseCall
3. You've got a virus. You need to run a scan and get rid of it. Your firewall or virus protection should have stopped it, unless you have not kept your protection up to date.
4. DON'T CLICK ON ANY OF THEM!!! IT'S A SPYWARE HIJACKER PROGRAM. Download and run Spybot Search and Destroy. That may or may not clean them up. You have my sympathy. Make sure your virus protections are current. If you need a free one, google 'avast!' , They have a free home edition.
5. My motto: If you cannot give specific help. Better not to give help! You have been infected by spyware called PrivacyProtector Free. You probably installed this software. You can read more about it here: http://www.precisesecurity.com/blogs/2007/06/29/privacyprotector-free-red-bio-hazard-desktop/ To remove it go to Control Panel > Ad/Remove programs and Uninstall this program. Also, use the SmitFraudFix tool to remove desktop hijack. to use it, get the tool and its guide here: http://www.precisesecurity.com/tools-resources/adware-tools/smitfraudfix/ Print out the guide in pdf before you start as windows might have to be restarted in the process. Good Luck.
