If it comes up in Internet Explorer, then change the start page for IE Tools/Internet Options/General Tab set the home page.
If it comes up as a separate window warning about the link, if it is a valid company you may need to uninstall the software. Otherwise it may be spyware you picked up while surfing and need to run a cleaning program.

I took my laptop to a local Internet service provider that also specialises in cleaning out computers. For about $50 they cleaned up my computer and installed anti-virus software that was better than the one I was paying alot of money for. The end result was a speedy and secure computer. I learned alot from this.

Is this by any chance something that tries to warn you you've been attacked by a virus? Quite possibly it's spammed malware trying to frighten you into buying their software - that's happening a lot at the minute.
Try downloading Ad-Aware SE Personal & Spybot S&D (both free), either or one of these should bowl it out.
