Yes you either have a virus or spyware.
Many people have fallen pray to the disillusion that Macs dont get viruses when in reality they do and always have.
You can get virus protection from Avast link below. It does cost.
There is a free checker from ClamXav you can try also.
As for spyware there are no free mac spyware removal programs that are legit. There is very little info on spyware out there for the mac. You may want to contact an Apple Genius on that one.
