    Do you have a blue star on the bottom right of your task bar by any chance?

    If it's software I can figure.
    If it's hardware you're on your own.

    It's usually a "sales" trick - I get a message fairly often saying that the registry needs cleaning and all I have to do is click the button. If they don't actually charge it usually installs some spyware of its own, or a default home page for next time you start your browser...
    IMO the best thing is to keep cancelling the pop-up and continue running your own software to check for spyware etc.
    As soon as someone comes up with anti-popup software someone else will find a way round it....
