Hi, I guess it's just a regular popups that people used to have. There are already threads in this board talking about anti-popups softwares and scripts. You might like to search for them.

If it's an internal popup, probably you had installed WinFix2005 then. A search on google says it's a spyware from Norton itself. Basically Norton installs this spyware when you install Norton products such as Norton Anti-Virus, Norton Internet Security etc.
This is said from a comment of a Norton user in this page.. http://reviews.cnet.com/Norton_SystemWorks...7-30993158.html

True enough, there are ways to remove this nasty spyware.
Take a look at these sites:

Gladly...

Remember to install Anti-Spyware programs to remain free from these nasty virtual bugs crawling within your operating system. A firewall although is more important, but they not functioned to detect these creatures.

It's best to have these 3 software running to keep your computer healthy:
1) Anti-Virus
2) Firewall
3) Anti-Spyware

So long... smile.gif
