Perhaps this is a better place to ask this.
In the O'Club someone posted a link for "snopes" and when I clicked on it
and the website came up "Microsoft office for small Buisness 2000" instalation wizard popped up.
This happens every now and again when I click on a link to a site.
Not every site, just some.
Why would it do this?
And I dont even own that software
-
Ive got a few ideas...
Spyware, Virus, Trojan, Sony cd...err I mean Rootkit
If you get similar popups from multiple different sites, your arse is infected....stay away <>

What internet browser are you using? I've never had it happen on my computer (Mozilla firefox and Windows XP) but I have had that happen on an older windows 98 computer I used once, it only had internet explorer on it. Mind you, it was a different program that it was mentioning in the pop-up, and it was a different website. But it may be related.

Actually now that you mention it I just doublechecked and it only does it when Im using AOHELL (which uses internet explorer) Not with Firefox
but even then with IE it only does it occasionally and not all sites.
System scans are showing me clean of Viruses,trojans etc as that was my first thought and the first thing I checked for.

In that case, it may have something to do with your security settings. Might double check those.
For what its worth, if at all possible stop using AOL's browser and Internet Explorer.

do a ad aware/AV scan ... but to kill it your gonna have to use "Hijack this "
Aolhell / AIM< has tons of virous type bs CRAP in it and gets exploited all the time .
Mrs Roo tried to got a bug from aim/aol websites the other day .. same thing as u got . All because her game buddies gotta chat on aim ...

Which reminds me, get rid of yahoo, aim, MSN, all that crap. Get Trillian, even if just the basic version. Not only is is completely spyware clean. It's also alot handier (one program running instead of 3)

I usually dont use AOL's browser to browse. But occasionally I get lazy or I am in an IM on AOL and dont feel like minimizing AOL to open firefox and going back and forth.
I am currently in an Email discussion with an AOL tech to see if I can substitute AOLs browser for firefox altogether.
I know you used to be able to do it with netscape.
But that was many moons ago

Hijack this is a Super Heavy duty regestry/run process scan program that can deleate anything so be carefull what ya get rid of .. ya can post the log from it here and we'll go thru it and tell ya whats what ...

I've had this happen to me also...I finally gave in and put my office cd in. I just started a new job with a Brand new computer and a very secure setup. (Hardware firewall, personal firewall, MS antispy, and Norton Corperate av software, among other things that I'm not told about such as IP tracking and reporting.).
When I go on this site at work, the office cd thing pops up. The site is a local news site. http://www.wset.com . There are others also, but I can't remember any of them.
I guessing that it's just poor code written by the website designer.
Oh yeah, they like to use pop up ads, nothing vicious,but annoying, so it could possible be tied into that.

Ok heres the log from my scan.
Some stuff is obvious to me what it is, or what its from. others...
Im clueless LOL

Looks like some kind of browser hijack. Might want to wait until some else chimes in, but thats what it looks like to me. Specifcally, looks like 180 search assistant.
Have you ran spyware scans? What programs? Use Spybot search and destroy, and ad-aware. And make sure they are up to date.

Both Adaware and AOL's Spy zapper
----::Edit::----
Also installed,updated and ran "Spybot-search and destroy"
No threats found
