Kazaa has been known to cause that problem. If you have Kazaa installed, it is best to remove it with Kazaa Begone at

Hi billgatesOwesMe,
It sounds like the viral file has been either delete or quarantined by your antivirus, but the registry run entry is still present.
Download 'Hijack This!'. Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply.
