Sounds like a Malware infection. Most AVs like Zone Alarm amongst others arnt great a removing Malware.
I would suggest something like Malware Bytes Anti Malware. Its not an Antivirus suite like ZA is but its an on demand scanner that generally is a lot better for this type of situation.
Seen this program pick up hundreds of items missed by standard AVs
