Thanks!  I killed the process and all of the problems went away-- but they
are not permanently gone until I clean out the registry and files.

Looks like I need to look at additional security...  

Thanks much for the URL!

Might want to take a look at this:

In a word, no. If you're not running border antivirus (or locking down any
way they could get to your computer), running multiple AV programs as well
as running regular antispyware scans, and you're running Windows, odds are
very good you already have several viruses. The really smart ones don't even
slow down your computer these days. Sorry.
