"Actulice" pop-up in Windows XP

[Guest]

After turning on my computer and after Windows XP loads,
I get a pop-up called "actulice". It's a small window
that opens in the center of the screen. The first one
says "ModF", and the second one says "funk". I keep
closing them using Alt-F4 so that I don't click on it in
case it launches Ad-Ware.
I recently downloaded Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and have the
MSN toolbar that closes pop-ups, but I don't know where I
got this thing from. Anyone know what this is and how to
get rid of it??

A quick Google brought me this link which suggests that you may have a
trojan. Check this out:

If you do not have a current antivirus using updated definitions
installed, you are not practising "safe hex" and you need to clean up
your computer. Ad-aware and a popup killer are not enough.

You could try AVG from Grisoft which is A1 excellent
