Thanks for the reply.
Everyone seems to think it's the spyware that causes the problem.
But as far as I can recall, it first happened when I ran "RegCleaner" program.
I meddled up with too many registries that day.
I used to run Ad-aware regularly, and didn't have any problem before.
And my browser doesn't have any unwanted search bars or something, because I hate to install commercial programs, and never did.
Though nobody mentioned that, it happens only when my computer is connected to the Internet. It doesn't show the message when I plug out the wire.
Thanks
