I've never seen anything like what you describe with my AOL. If your virus
software is updated and you've run a scan, then for me, the next logical step
would be to download Ad Aware and run it to remove adware and spyware
programs. Some of those pesky programs invade silently and can do what you
describe.  Hope it helps.
