Maybe not a virus but "malware". You will need to identify the name of the program and then uninstall it via the Windows Uninstall application in the Control Panel. You can do Control + Alt + delete to enter "task manager" and then give us a list of applications that are running. Perhaps that will help us identify the program name.
