Skeeter, it could be anything. There are almost unlimited number of spyware and malware out there.
Here is my normal cleanup routine.
#1 run Steve Gould's cleanup program to remove temp files and garbage (makes scans run faster)
#2 update and run malwarebytes (may have to repeat this step a couple of times with reboots)
#3 update and run microsoft security essentials (my choice for home AV as it is free, AND it works better than alot of the paid programs I have found)
#4 run all the windows updates and get the machine up to date.
#5 if that doesn't clean it up then it is time for a reformat.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
