Hi, this is something I came across and thought it may interest those that have been getting 'unwanted Popups' that cannot be explained.
This 'ScumWare' replaces original page content with its own, so the surfer doesn't see the page as the authour intended.
Have a look at this page first Right click the links and 'Open in a new window'

then go to this page to see if you are infected with this 'ScumWare'
