Insufficient information.

Describe what is running, what software you are using and all circumstances surrounding this
event.

It popsup when no programs are running on the computer or when 5
programs are running. OS - XP 64 bit. Seems to be random.

So what processes are listed in Task Manager? Is there still an
instance of iexplore.exe running? Just because an instance of the
browser is running doesn't mean there is a window for it. It is an old
trick to open a hidden instance of the browser so it can run a script
which uses a timer. However, a good popup blocker should catch opening
the instance of the browser whether it has a displayable window or not.

The popup would itself be a process so you could check in Task Manager
for it. It is possible that it is a thread of another process, but
checking that the processes that are listed and are legitimate and the
you investigate to know they should be running is a start. You can use
SysInternals' Process Explorer to dig into what child processes are
owned by what parent process.

So exactly what anti-malware programs have you used so far to scan your
computer for pests?

It comes up even when IE7 is not running.

Do you really mean Ad-aware SE ?

You need to post this in a Microsoft News Group related to IE7.

That's why I said to check Task Manager because it DOES look like you
have an instance of IE running. Just because you don't see a *window*
for IE doesn't mean it isn't running. Check Task Manager for instances
of iexplore.exe.

That's a general warning about a potential problem detected by IE7. Even
when IE is closed it still runs in the task manager for a while just in case
you need to open it again it will open faster. It is not spyware or malware
related. It is by design.
