More likely that you've been hacked. Have you downloaded a toolbar?Has the site been hacked ?
Depending on your browser/OS you might be able to disable or uninstall it.

I had one of these 'pop up' things a while back, infact if you search this thread it'll tell you what I did to get rid of it
I seem to recall that it was a pigy back thing from an add on that didn't want to be shifted...
....might even have been a re-install of win7!
But that's something as a long time windows user I'm used too...

What ever it was it seemed to target Pentax User in as much as it disabled the message filter in Thunderbird email programme. I have a mailbox "Photography" with sub folders for various forums etc. This morning a message on screen said pentaxuser folder could not be found so message filters for this folder will be disabled, I still received the emails except they stayed in the Inbox. As far as I'm aware this is the only folder affected. Have reset it and all seems ok.

Odd Stan. I have no problems with the site with Firefox, nor with Thunderbird filtering.

Last night I was enjoying Have I Got News For You, QI and the Burmese jungle. No time for pointlessness, other than my daily dose of Pointless on the Beeb that is .Where is everyone? At the sales or in Oddbins?
The sun is shining . Haven't seen that for I don't know how long.

Everything is back to normal. No idea why it happened or why it only targetted pentax in particular, forum pages and email box. No idea how it sorted it's self out either : Will have to watch out in case I suddenly get $20,000,000 in my bank account. I've had several emails lately from barclays saying transfer successfull and from DHL regarding parcels, obviously deleted without opening Odd Stan. I have no problems with the site with Firefox, nor with Thunderbird filtering.
All virus scans etc show no problems

It can happen that it's seen as a virus and has been removed.
Even if you update Adobe Reader or Java and go through all the defaults you can end up with these programs.
