YOu might find that the IT techie people on here can help you resolve this, without having to spend big money getting someone to look at it.
Ask around a few friends or neighbours first they may be more of help or reccomend a local who knows about computers that could be of help to you. don't need to go straight to the computer shop, Many people use computers these days and should be of good help with something that sounds not too hard to sort out.
I presume this only occurs when you have the Internet Explorer application running.

Sounds like it could be time to re-install IE, or better still Firefox.
It may well be infected .. You done a FULL scan of all drives with System Restore TURNED OFF?
Done a FULL scan with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware?
Cleared out Temp Files and Cache?
I would try the tech experts here first.

If you post the make and model of computer, the operating system, the program that is causing the problem and an accurate description of the problem someone here will have an idea what is happening.
A "good" repairer? The best way to find a good one is through personal recommendation. Otherwise you're taking a chance that your chosen repairer will do a good job. Look in your local Yellow Pages, and check on one who has a website (I know your computers aren't working OK, but you could go to a public library and use their computer). I used a local repairer to fix my PC, and put more memory in while he was at it, and he did that. He charged me £160. I don't know if that was a fair price or not, but I paid him and my PC has been fine ever since.
When I bought my laptop just over a year ago, I took out insurance against any breakdown etc. It costs me just £3.99 a month, and so far I have had to use them twice when my laptop has crashed.. They collect it and return it to me ; best money I have ever spent I think. Without it I wouldn't have been able to afford to get it fixed.I know this doesn't help you with your problem katiecarol, but this is is one instance of insurance paying off.
