There was some malware going around last year that created a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to open a particular URL at the same time every day (an ad of some kind).
To check for a scheduled task:
Windows XP: Start button > [All] Programs > Accessories> System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
Windows Vista/7: Start button > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler

Any luck getting rid of it?
