There is a possibility the browser is remembering your password when you typed it into a wrong field by accident, maybe (did that once) (it will always remember those unless you disable them). Or someone or something may have installed a malicious cookie without you noticing.

In any case, delete all cookies, saved passwords and users (may have to log into everything again) and clear browser cache, history and such. You can do this in the Tools/Properties-Options.

Hopefully this will fix your issue.

Ccleaner can do a thorough clean of your browser also with a click of a button, I also recommend this method, and this should possibly fix it. (clear everything of that particular browser)

You could go into safe mode and run a scan. I have been able to reinstall the antivirus software in safe mode. In safe mode, you can run msconfig.exe and modify your start up so you are running basic programs. Someone hacked my credit card and I reinstalled my antivirus software. Only found minor problems.

If it didn't do it before bro then you may have a problem with spyware. If you have a virus scanner then try running it to see if it flags any issues. I use a freebee called Avast and it's has a spyware feature to spot software that installs itself unwittingly when installing regular software. I've noticed quite a few products like to also install new tool bars as well if you don't uncheck the option prior to installing some software. Keep us updated if you uncover something. Leroy.

This only happens when you login to your bank right? It does not put your U3DA password or others in a Google search? It opens a new browser tab or window with the Google search?

I sounds like is time for professional assistance. I'd take it to pros to be cleaned of viruses and spyware. Obviously, you need to change your bank password and not log in again from your computer until it is cleaned. Try logging in to your bank from a friend's computer, presumably uninfected, to change your password so the culprit's won't know your new one. I assume you have notified the bank so they can watch for suspicious activity on your account.

You might want to check and remove Google Toolbar. My last Adobe update installed Crome and the Google Toolbar without warning nor option to NOT install it. Hate that!
