It could be a virus. Don't click on it.

Sounds like spyware or possibly a virus. I had a similar problem (it called itself "Winfixer"). Either go buy some good anti-spyware software 9the free stuff won't get rid of it unfortunately) or restore your PC (if you are running XP) back to before you noticed the problem. Always run antivirus and antispyware programs, especially if you are on a network.

It sounds like your computer is infected with a virus or some sort of spyware. I would try downloading a really good free virus program called Avast and a spyware removal tool called Adaware. Just both of those systems and do a complete system scan. Together they should take care of your problem.
You can download them at these websites:

hi, there are some virus with your IE browser.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Those items are usually spyware. I suggest buying a copy of Webroots Spy Sweeper (29.99) and sweeping your computer. Then quarantine the item and you're good to go.
