Check your computer for Malware with

Malwarebytes Antimalware http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
after install click UPDATE and run quick scan, click on REMOVE SELECTED to quarantine anything found

SUPERAntiSpyware http://filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
Are cookies really spyware and are they dangerous?

If anything is found come back and post the scan logs here

doug,

just a suggestion, try to do a program update for the malwarebytes you downloaded, your log shows version 1.41, I believe the current version is 1.45, rerun the scan after program update and virus definitions update.

also, on a unrelated note, the log shows you have SP2, you may want to run your windows update to get SP3.
