    Some nasty spyware type stuff can do that. Have you installed KaZaA or Grokster recently, or maybe even Gator... I think the scumware component that does that (amongst others I'm sure) is called TopText.

    I found a link for you, try Remove TopText and some other scumware.

    edit: sorry, that old link was useless. try the new one.
