That is a Virus itself, if you constantly get pop-ups it is either Adware or Spyware. Go to Start>Control Panel>Uninstall Programs. And that will take it out of your system. Try getting Spybot Search and Destroy, this is a free download from http://www.spybot.com and will get rid of infections for free. It is a free software, NO VIRUSES, OR SPYWARE comes with it. It isn’t a free trial either, it’s a full program.
