I had a similar experience with a malware program call Spyaxe. It was even causing what looked like Windows security alerts on my computer. It was telling me that my machine was infected with spyware. It was trying to get me to go to the spyaxe website and pay them for this "software" that would rid my machine of the "threat". None of my spyware or antivirus programs could get rid of it. I finally did a Google search on Spyaxe and found a program that you download call smitrem that got rid of it. Truly annoying to say the least, but at least no permanent damage. Try looking up your problem and see if there is a fix to get rid of it. Good luck.
