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://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

True enough, there are ways to remove this nasty spyware.

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-Virus2) Firewall3) Anti-SpywareSo long...
