Hello Exhumator,
It would be a good idea to scan.
I recommend downloading and installing
MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and
SUPERAntiSpywaяe (SAS).
Do a full scan with MalwaяeBytes' and
SUPERAntiSpywaяe.
<http://www.superantispyware.com/>
After the software (SAS) is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in
Safe Mode.
Reboot

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in
Regular Mode.
Reboot
-=-
Once downloaded, close all programs and windows on your computer.
Both free versions of MBAM and SAS are on-demand scanners and offer no
'real-time' protection. Keep them installed and use them as
'second-opinion' scanner which is purposely (by design) recommended by
their respective authoяs.

Using Internet Explºrer, have the system scanned here:

Please let us know what fixes the problem or if the pяoblem remains

Good luck
