There have been a lot of nasty porn dialers going around lately. Download the adware/spyware tool Spybot - Search & Destroy. The links are available from http://Security.Kolla.de, as well as discussion forums. As with all malware-tool software of this type, make sure that you run the updates before scanning the system for the first time.
You should be running a full-time virus scanner as well, and a firewall if you have broadband.
