For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If it refuses to go easily, it might be adware. For a start, get Microsofts Anti-Spyware for free from http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/softwar e/default.mspx
(only works on XP or 2000).
If neither of these works, post back and we can try some other stuff.
It's sounds very much like you (or your daughter) have inadvertantly installed the "My Web Search" or "Cool Web Search" programs on your computer.
These are generally considered to be Spyware, reporting back your surfing habits to their respective owners. And you should remove them from your computer immediately. This Website has deatailed instructions on removing this pesky MyWebSearch;

And looking at the Websites instructions you might also need to download and run Hi-Jack This! Which is available here;

And you should also run CWS shredder which is available here;

Good luck.
