There are several companies that offer freeware over the internet that also
includes a program to offer random pop-ups. One of the most common companies
is a company called "gain". I don't know where people find their software,
but it has been installed on several computers where I work. Once installed,
even with spyware prevention software and pop-up prevention software, it
will bring up several pop-ups an hour.
I would say that chances are, you downloaded such a program. You will need
to find it, and then find the companies web site for directions on how to
remove it. Usually, you just need to remove the sponsored software.
