Check your hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
but to be honest, I doubt it's that.

It sounds like a rootkit.

Have a look at this thread for an example of what a rootkit can do and how to get rid of it. I should point out, though, that the instructions on that thread are for that particular user/PC.
