Looks like malware to me. Do you have decent, up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware tools running?

See if you can find C:\windows\adtech2005.exe

Heres some info:

adtech2005.exe Reported as Trojan.Win32.StartPage.aw by Kaspersky Anti-Virus

adtech2005.exe is a process belonging to the Adtech advertising program. This process monitors your browsing habits and distributes the data back to the author's servers for analysis. This also prompts advertising popups. This program is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately.

Also get a copy of HiJackThis! and run it. Post a log file of processes it finds.

Kill Symantec. AVG is a free and IMHO better alternative. Other than that, reinstall Symantec and set it up again.
