Hello Marty!

Spyware, pure and simple..

There is adaware and spybot search and destroy, both are or have freeware
versions, get one or both, run them, see if they can detect and remove the
buggers..

Next.. (if above fails)

Microsoft has its own tool, which is freeware, Windows Defender, try it...

If that fails..

You can try some of the commercial products, like Webroots Spy Sweeper, goto
their website, they will let you download a version that will scan but not
remove, if they detect it, you can purchase their product, in this case, I
recommend going to a retail store to purchase, since purchasing on the web on a
spyware infested system isnt safe.

or

Boot the system into safe mode, if you identified the files that are foreign,
you should be able to delete them. But that doesnt mean it will constitute a
thorough removal.
