One of my friends computer did this.  He (I guess) like some internet site.
Oh you know which ones!  And the adware/ spyware was so bad he could no
longer even browze the internet.  Each page took an average of something
like 5-10 minutes to load.

After fighting with the browzer for an hour or so, I finally got all the
spyware removed (as recommended above).  Rebooted twice and didnt help.
After much hair pulling, turned out to be a trojan worm virus which would
(upon connecting to the internet) use 100% processor resources.

I would suggest this:

Its a free online virus scanner and it can fix most things right off the
web.  Good luck.
