Have you talked to the "Tech Support" of your ISP about this ? IF yes, what did they say ?

By the way, what is the Name of your ISP ?

Good Luck. & Have fun .B-)

Well, if the System Restore went back further that would have been my first suggestion. However, since it does not go back far enough, I would suggest uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 by following the Knowledge Base Article released by Microsoft. Once you have it completely uninstalled, go back to Microsoft and download a fresh copy of Internet Explorer 7.

If that does not work, I would suggest trying another browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera.

I am not sure if the Live One Care could cause such an issue; however, it is possible. I would keep that in mind if both of these suggestions do not work for you.

Since you said this started in early January, I would suggest uninstalling every application that you have installed over the last two months, set a System Restore point, and systematically reinstall each application. At some point, one of the applications you installed did not complete its installation.

Since you only get the pop-up window while accessing some sort of internet based information, I would presume that Internet Explorer 7 is the culprit. However, I would suggest uninstalling all recent applications (two months back) and reinstalling.
