    It is likely to to be the "the Fast Captcha scam" it morphs to old registry keys even from programs you may have had years ago.

    You might like to trywww.ninite.comdownload : Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware the free versions!!!
    Also check task manager, Startup apps, Disable it (if you find it in there)
