    Sounds like it might be a virus/spyware thing.

    I'm assuming your using windows, try boot into Safe mode and see does it work as it should.
    If it does then it's some software on your laptop causing the issue, otherwise, well I don't know :)

    To get into safe mode,
    Windows Vista and Windows 7 Safe Mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu". Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.
    If you want Internet access choose "Safe mode with networking"
