I am guessing you are running windows xp.
Download the following program to stop the popups

Also you can get an update from microsoft website for the problem mentioned
in the popup

I have just looked at the website that was in the popup
www.windows-patch.info
They want $19.95 for the same patches that i just gave you.
I don't mind £10 ;-)

Gareth not NLL or anybody else. came up with this:
$19.95 for a patch that will eliminate their own pop-ups? They must be a
steaming pile of crap.
