You mean no antivirus is installed on ur PC??
You have been infected by a particular kind of Spyware/Adware, which will tempt you into installing their infected products. Do not click on any link that comes up when you didnt open the page.
Install Spy-Bot S&D and Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE and scan and clean ur PC...
Please posts results after the above procedure...
If you want an Antivirus, install Kaspersky/ NOD32/ AVG

I installed ad-aware & spybot and scanned and removed but the problem is again after switching on or restarting all the links to websites only related to antivirus starts opening & system also hangs in between.:|

smile try Avast Antivirus which is free downlodable from avast site, after you registered you will be recieving a key, if your's broadband always keep avast on taskbar tray so that daily 1 new definition is updated, which will protects you in 6 ways

After installing perform only boot scan, because you can verify and delete the virus handy, only delete not delete all
