Sounds like you've got either a Trojan Horse or some kind of spyware.  At
a minimum, I would recommended getting anti-virus installed on your
machine and be sure it's up to date, get a good anti-spyware utility like
Ad-Aware, and have a personal firewall up and configured - ZoneAlarm's
free one is easy to use and the price is right.  Here the link to a recent
US-CERT alert on spyware that may also be of interested to you:

Good luck,

Hi all,

I have a bit of a problem. I just bought a new computer and it seems that
any time I get on the internet, somebody is able to take over the control of
my computer

For example: when I am typing an email using Yahoo mail, somebody took over
my computer and I saw them typing something else??

I installed NoAdware then  scaned my computer ->no infection

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks
