Golden Palace Casino Software

[Becky]

On my XP machine, I keep getting a windows alert message
that says
Windows Alert-> Your Chance to WIN $$$ with Golden Palace!

You have the Golden Palace Casino software installed on
your computer! Wanna try it for free and win $1,000,000?
Yes No

How do I get rid of it?

Install a firewall--either the built-in Windows one, or better,
one of the third-party ones available. Without one, you are
vulnerable not only to popup advertising like this, but also to
all sorts of nasty worms, viruses, etc.
