Clarification Request

download Adaware Free version, run a scan and report back what it finds before removing anything
GuruSecond thought: A virus or spyware? Have you run a full virus scan and a separate antispyware scan?
I don't know if either of these will work, but give them a try (especially the full anti virus and anti spyware scans). I use AVG Antivirus Free and AVG Antispyware Free. I also use ZoneAlarm Free as my firewall to prevent hackers getting access.
I have had a somewhat similar problem (years ago) which turned out to be some malicious spyware controlling access to some Administrator functions.
Good luck
