It may be some sort of spyware app, but you may have already checked that? Just FYI, 
Ad-Aware is no longer reliable. It hasn't been updated in months.

Download and run SpyBot Search and Destroy: 

SpyBot S&D

It looks for spyware, but also targets dialers, keyloggers and much more, and it's 
freeware. After installing, go to the Online tab, and search for and install all 
updates. 

Next, go to the Settings tab > File Sets, and uncheck 'System Internals' and 'Tracks.' 
You can always experiment with them later on. Just scan for the spybots for now. 
After closing your browser (signing off), run the scan, then click 'Check 
All', and have SpyBot remove all it finds. 

Note: SSD will sometimes not be able to remove all active components on the first 
'fix'. You will then get a dialog asking you to run SSD at next start. Click yes 
and reboot. SSD will then come up before the system puts these components 'in use'. 
You will then be able to 'fix' everything.
