Today I turned on the computer and did a bit of browsing, all sites in which I go to on a daily basis. they belong pretty much to youtube, easyphpbb, and userplane.

When i was in user plane chat, this windows installer box appeared, and says it wants to update windows office 2000 premium, i clicked cancel, and it kept on trying to do it. Re appearing, and if i let it do it its saying some error message about it not being able to install without the CD for office then error 1706, blah blah blah cant continue.

I quickly went to adaware, but had to install the new version, then as it was scanning, whatever I clicked on, the task bar, yahoo, internet that [bleep] thing kept trying to pop up and install something.

Then when i'd open my firefox, there was a photo of guitars and guitar pedals and things, I dont know what the address was but it was something like www.knockout/something or other.

Adaware found nothing. My AVG has found nothing. Yahoo flashes around in the task bar, it seems to come when i try to open yahoo and send a message to someone, or it could be cause i'm double clicking, i'm not sure.

At the moment it seems to happen every time I open my yahoo friends list. I can type to them and send them messages etc, but if i have the friends list open, it wont stop trying to install whatever it is doing.

Can anyone tell me what this is and how to fix it?
