It keeps popping up, and is hard to get rid
of when I try to cancel it.
I don't have trouble with erros or crashes.
So I don't want to download it.
I rebooted to get rid of it just now. :-(

From Symantic:
ErrorSafe is a Security Risk that may give exaggerated reports of threats on the computer. The program then prompts the user to purchase a registered version of the software in order to remove the reported threats.
This site tells you how to get rid of it
http://www.free-web-browsers.com/remove-errorsafe.shtml
RUN all in Safe Mode. The wee devils like to hide in other programs when the entire OS in running. In Safe mode only partial files are running.
But you can also download other spyware removers as well
Adware

========
Firstly update and run your anti-virus product. You can also run a free online scan as well as some malware can actually corrupt or disable your resident security products. Here are a few online scans you can run:
Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm
Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym
Second download, update and run scans using the following products:
SuperAntispyware
http://superantispyware.com/
Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating)
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
AVG AntiSpyware
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
(These programs can be run in Safe Mode after downloading and updating)
Third, after cleaning your system, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore when you log back on. This will clear the malware that may still be lurking in System Restore, which could be reinstalled should you need to rollback at some point. Additionally, a reboot may be required to complete the malware removal process. For reasons this should be done after and not before malware removal, see the webpage below:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2005/09/17/66724.aspx
Lastly, you may also want to install the following tool. It is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources.
SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

If you cannot get it removed after the above, you may want to join a tech group that specializes in providing manual instructions on malware eradication.

ErrorSafe is a dangerous rogue anti-spyware program that can be installed without user's consent. ErrorSafe generate fake alert's to claim user to buy full version of this malware. This alerts usually comes without a cancel button or “X” to close the window. Also ErrorSafe may be related to WinFixer.ErrorSafe can install other malware and slow your operating system and internet connection.
