Correct. This is a trojan virus which is doing this damage. As well as mal and spyware. Bets advice i can give you is use mcaffe, which you can buy for 20-40 pounds, and use that to scan your pc. Or use spybot search and destroy. Type spybot search and destory in google and it should come use that as it is easy and quick. Or if none of that works reboot whole pc by putting in new windows.

Get Free Malware and AntiVirus software we use Super Antispyware + + Malwarebytes Antimalware + Avira Antivi Personal you can find them by doing a search the basic versions are free but combined they have kept us clean for quite a long time.
You might need to switch off windows restore before you restart as some virus seem to use this get get back on your system, bur always make sure you switch it back on later
Avira also helps clear rootkit virus
After using these we also use Glaysoft which helps clean up the registry and system generally again its free for download. you can use this to reset all Internet Explorere setting as well in case they have been hyjacked
Make sure your windows updates are all up todate as well
Take a while to dowload and run them all but worked for us. You do need to run them all as well as it takes the combined forces of these to solve all problems
Hope this helps
