Sounds like a virus. No proper software would act like this.

Update your a-v and run a full scan. Be aware that some viruses, if they 
find their way onto your computer before they are included in update 
databases, can prevent any further updates.

If necessary, run an on-line scan:

You could also check your startups for anything which might trigger this. 
Either use a startup utility, or run msconfig if you have nothing better 
and open its startup tab. Untick anything suspicious.
