      I had that same problem once and it was the beginning of a battle to remove the bastard thing. I finally ended up doing a sys restore.

                          I bet no matter where you click on that popup it goes to the software page
                          .

                                          Figured it was just a popup banner spoofing a windows menu.
                                          .

                                              Have you tried nosing around in Run>msconfig>startup to see if anything new is being loaded?

                                                  Why don't people use firewalls?
                                                  even free ones like zone alarm, ever since I installed a firewall I forgot all about that spy/adware shit

                                                  all you need is a well configured firewall

                                                  (install it BEFORE you have all that shit on your pc)

                                                      Better yet, get a router even if you only have 1 pc. When I got a router, zonealarm wasnt getting anymore incoming. Gotta love it.

                                                      You've read it, you can't unread it.

                                                          Might come as a surprise for you but..

                                                          I have a software firewall, a router as a firewall, a virus software and spyware removing programs.. too bad the 'badboys' are always one step ahead in the game...
