i get the same thing, do u use the 'supertrick' from kazaa lite, that is using the hosts file to block ads?
i think what happens is that when the computer tries to connect to itself, the ad says that it need authentication, normally the site would provide it, but in this case since its your own comp, it doesnt, hence the popup
could be wrong

It could be a pay web site, or there are some private web sites that are password protected, and could very well contain viruses -- best to avoid those.
