First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Ok, I've done all that and it's still happening. ANy other
ideas?? It's driving me crazy!!
 
You've got spyware on your computer. Go to the Start menu
and search for win32host.exe in your files/folders.
Delete it when you find it.
