Constant "Enter Network Password" boxes

I must have done something weird to my computer: A couple of days ago I
started getting an "Enter Network Password" box for every ad on every page I
browse to. For instance, I go to iwon.com, and I get one for
ad.doubleclick.net, I hit cancel and I get one for image.imgfarm.com, cancel
again, and I get i1mg.com. And that happens on every web site regardless of
whether I have PopupBlocker on or not.

The only thing I can think might have started this, was that I uninstalled
the free version of ZoneAlarm, but I can't get anything from their site, and
I can't be sure that that's what started the problem bacause I can't rmember
if this started happening immediatly, or a day or so later.

I don't have any of the files or directories listed under the iWon Aornum
information in your first link. Interesingly though, I do use iWon as my
start page, so perhaps they have added something new. I regularly run
Spybot Search and Destroy, and did so again. The only thing it found was my
start page being iWon, which I had it remove. I've also run AdsGone, a
popup blocker that also checks for Spyware. Everything says I have no
spyware.

Any other ideas? Could this be a securty setting in IE?

Have your registry check by the expert.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

If you get a 404 error or Access denied, try:
http://216.180.252.218/~spywareinfo....hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/

Sign in, then copy and paste both files in your message.
