You just may have picked up a virus or malware. Depending on your operating system I would go back and so a restore from a few days ago if at all possible.

If that does not work boot your computer in safe mode (assuming a windows system) with network capability.

Go to Malwarebytes.org and download their malware program and run it while in safe mode.

Update your anti-virus software and run that. If you do not have an anti-virus program go to Microsoft.com and download Security essentials (it's free).

Good luck.
