These popups have gone from annoying to dangerous. Microsoft recently
published a critical update to fix a vulnerability in the underlying
service and an outline of an attack has been published on a well-known
bug tracking discussion forum.
It is only a matter of a short time before an exploit is unleashed. Get
a personal firewall and block the NetBIOS ports on your Internet
interface. This will stop the popups and eliminate the vulnerability.
You should also keep up-to-date on critical updates at
v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com. The one I am talking about is 823980.
