    Oh, it's not that big a deal.

    Essentially, you need to disable Windows messaging service, for no good reason it's activated by default. The popups are an exploit of that.
    Annoying, aren't they? Criminal, IMO.

    I found instructions on the web how to do it, do a little google search and you'll find your answer. It was easy to disable, I just forgot what all I actually needed to do.
