hmm a longshot here' maybe your dad was looking at pr0n and got some mean spyware on your comp,
dload Ad-aware and give it it a try? it may help

Another spyware removal program is Spy-bot Search & Destroy. I also have Ad-Aware but find that Spybot does a more comprehensive job. Either will do the job well enough.

Good Luck

Pop yourself over to majorgeeks.com, go to 'Spyware Tools' and download a program called 'SpySweeper'. I used it last night and it found 55 instances of spyware, and over 1200 traces!
