Your PC is probably loaded with spyware that is also hogging resources.

There is an excellent article about spyware in PC Magazine:

Their Editor's Choice is Spybot for spyware removal. It's free.

Install AdAware and see if it detects the intruder. If so, it will offer
to vanquish it.
Software that you installed, or a click on a WEBsite link, may have
convertly installed this nuisance.

Hi,

You can also try PrivesyExpert by Acronis
(www.acronis.com) and Pop-up Stopper Companion by
Panicware (www.panicware.com) both can clean up and help
prevent problems. Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy are
my favorites as well.
