I saw a program around a while ago that was called winad.exe that does
what you're talking about.  It may have been installed as part of some
crapware, or just through one of the approx. 654651657968 bugs in IE.  I
just deleted the file and all was well.

Subject: [windows2000] Internet Pop-up windows



Has anyone encountered a problem with malicious code being written to a

workstation that causes Internet windows to pop up all by themselves =3D
without the browser being open?  If so, any suggestions for getting rid
=3D
of it?

Thanks...
