Correction: There IS a legitimate process called "System".

Oh well! *Blush*

However, I have used the following tools to try and discover what is launching these pop-ups, and, near as I can tell, explorer.exe itself is launching them.

–Spybot Search & Destroy

–McAfee VirusScan

–AdAware 2007

–Filemon (SysInternals)

–Procmon (Sysinternals)

–ProcXP (VERY cool util, thanks Ryan) (Sysinternals)
