*Always* disable your anti-virus application when installing/uninstalling
anything, especially from an MS page or Windows Update.
Disable all third-party applications, including "system" tools (anything by
McAfee), uninstall Yahoo Companion or Google Toolbar to see if it makes any
difference. If your problems started with installing WMP9, uninstall it.
Rule out malware: Get an run AdAware, Spybot, BHO Daemon, and/or HijackThis.
RTFM before using any of them. Always seeks updates for each application's
reference files before each use.
Primer on using HijackThis:
