I am having the same problem with an unwanted system alert popup that leads to an "Antivermins" web site. Can this be fixed similarly?

It doesn't say "Messenger service". It creates a message baloon that says that my computer may have virus activity and that I should click on the baloon to install antimal software. I then get a IE popup for Antivermins.
