Hi,
If running with add-ons disabled didn't help, these problems are probably
caused by malware (spyware, hijackers, trojans, etc)

See these sites for help, including the posting of a HijackThis log to one
of the forums where HJT logs are analyzed:

Look for an "Important- Read this first" type message, at whatever forum you
choose, for specific instructions.

Hope this helps,
