Hi Wadeb,
Sounds like you've got some malware on your system, whether this is Windows telling you that you have a problem or if it is a bad program trying to annoy you or get you to buy something else. Please follow the steps here. This will get rid of 80% of all malware. If you continue to see problems, please see those instructions for posting a Hijack This! log to our malware removal forum, where they'll be able to help you better than we can.

This sounds like Trojan Horse Dropper.Agent.HHK or a version of trojan horse dropper - I had exactly the same problems, Follow The Admiral's advice and go to http://www.geekstogo...o-Here-f37.html and start a new thread.

So I just tried running a HiJackThis and I'm not sure if its because of that Trojan or what but my computer will not even let me run the program. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Try disabling any anti-viral software running in the back ground, things like AVG, Norton, spyware doctor etc. things with real time protection as they might possibly be interfering with running HJT (PLEASE DISCONNECT FROM THE NET THOUGH, IF DOING THIS - TO STAY SAFE FROM FURTHER INFECTION), alternatively reboot in safe mode and try from there.
What anti virus are you running besides AVG, and have you been warned of infection? I strongly advise to download Spybot - Search and detroy (I'll revise a legit site and a link for you - as I paid for search and destroy (notice no Spybot in title) which happened to be yet another trojan )
Also do you have pop-ups mid screen, Vary in colour (red, blue - as in windows/anti virus style warnings) also warning of infection?
Let me know of the results, the sooner you can get a log the better!!

Hi wadeb_21...
Go ahead and do what you can, start yourself a topic in the malware forum, and explain to the experts that you are unable to run HJT. They will walk you through the process of getting the log posted by alternative means.
