You have a hijacker virus!
Run your anti-virus software to get rid of it, if it doesnt, then start your pc in safe mode, locate and delete Wupdater.exe (usually in C:/Program files).

Alternatively use one of the free online scanners to remove it.

Help us to help you!
Be specific with your problem and tell us your machines specs.
