Please use the following Add-ons:-
Ad-Block Plus
No-Script

And post ur log for HijackThis.

I guess, not only the browser, but ur system may also be affected by some malwares.

Try a scan with Avira Antivir
and Malwarebyte's Antimalware.

Report back.

Keep the UAC on and carefully observe the warnings that you get from UAC.

use onscreen keyboard to enter passwords for important sites (banks, primary mail etc).
