You have unwittingly visited a web site or opened mail from someone you didn't know. As for a switch to turn off I know of none at this time. You have received what is known as a time released capsule that will launch Microsoft Internet Explorer. Your message may be something to the effect that your system is not safe to prying eyes and you need to purchase the spyware software that is being advertised. You can allow it to open and see if you can find a phone number and call the responsible party and most likely they will Email you with a small program that will remove the popup. I too had a similar experience. Unfortunately I disposed of the remove tool. >keep microsoft from sending all these to me. It isn't Microsoft that's doing it.
