You might have some malware. I would try making a fresh installation of
Vista, by reformatting and installing Vista without first installing XP and
upgrading. You can do this with a Vista upgrade CD - just Google for the
instructions.
If you do not want to do this, at least try running some anti-malware
software, like Spybot or Ad-Aware.
I have not actually used either of those programs for a few years now, as I
never get any malware. I just use AV software and use an up-to-date HOSTS
file. I make the occasional Ewido online scan, but it never finds anything
other than tracker cookies.
Ewido Online Scan - recommended -

Remember to run this with IE7 running as Administrator (right click the IE
icon).
