download adware(free version) , run the program.
this should take care of your problems.
Your kids have downloaded some spyware, this will fix it.

try this out

or

Download this, install it, and then run it and then delete all of the crap it finds. It will pull out all of the spyware that was stuck on your machine.

Good luck

In addition to running what Wiz suggested, Ad-aware, download and install pop up blocker software. I use Yahoo Companion, it's free!

Get Spybot, too!
This thing makes sure than certain dialers and spyware cookies do not even can get installed on your PC.
I use it by myself and it really works great!
