I keep getting popup window that never goes away. There is no X at the top of the window so I have to open the task manager to close it. It displays the current date and time at the top. Then in the pop up it states that this program cannot display the webpage. It doesn't identify the program that is trying to open a webpage or what webpage it is trying to open. Then it states reasons why such as: "you are not connected to the internet." The window pops up randomly about every 10 or 15 minutes regardless of what I am working on, including already being on the internet. I can be in email, on the internet, writing a letter or just having the computer idle. I think I'm pretty computer savvy but this one has me stumped.

Can you help?
