Your password has been compromised. Change it immediately. I would also
expect that you have a key logging program installed on your computer that
harvests passwords and sends the information others. Do this!

Don't ever go clicking things just because a web site, e-mail, popup message
or rogue desktop tells you to! If you are not 101% certain what an action
will do - don't perform that action.

Download, install, update and run the following:

If you don't have any antivirus installed, AVG Antivirus (free) from
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5

Ad-Aware (free) from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

SpyBot Search and Destroy (free) from
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Microsoft Anti Spyware (free) from
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

And continue to control your clicking finger!
