This alert has been my first encounter with spyware problems on Windows Vista which has otherwise been very resistant to invasions from annoying marketers, hackers, and spys. It appears to be rather new and neither AdAware nor McAfee Antivirus detect it as a problem. Furthermore, a simple file search for the apparent offending program returned no results although I was able to browse to the location and see the file there.

Hopefully this will be an easy fix, so these results will most likely allow you to remove the bothersome application yourself.

I tracked down the little bugger by trial and error. I waited for the window to pop up, and I left it open while going to task manager [ctrl-alt-delete and select Task Manager]. On the processes tab of task manager, I started ending processes on items until I ended the process which shut down the window. At that point, I knew I had found the beginning of the problem.
