It's some form of adware. Why did you change the history to 99 days?
Download each of these programs:
1) SpyBot Search & Destroy
2) AdAware
3) Spy Sweeper (trial version)
4) ZoneAlarm or Kerio personal firewall
Kerio gives better control and features, but is only available as a trial for free. ZoneAlarm has a free version.
Run a scan with each of the first three and leave your firewall on constantly. The scans will take care of whatever's causing the pop-up, and the firewall will provide some extra protection. I would also switch over to a browser that's more secure such as Firefox if you haven't already done so.
