It's a scam. It's as easy as putting an entry in your hosts file that redirects you to another IP when u go to paypal.com.

Get some adware/virus scanners. But if you wanna check out your hosts file first its in one of these places:
Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS

file: Hosts

See if there are any entries in there that point to an ip other than 127.0.0.1, if there are, it's probably a virus or adware that did that.

Otherwise go get AVG and spybot and hopefully u don't have something that hasn't been documented yet.
