Party Poker affiliate browser popup -- where is this coming from??

[teddyFBI]

Can't quite figure this one out:

I just reinstalled Windows XP, b/c I had some problems. Reinstall went just fine. But I have a problem with something called WinFixer that keeps opening new browser windows that redirect to the WInfixer home page. I did a little research, and found some possible solutions to the Winfixer thing.

Here's the more perplexing thing though: I ALSO get new browser popups of a Party Poker affiliate link (I can tell b/c it has a WMxxxx number in the address). I can't for the life of me figure out how this is happening, b/c I haven't even reinstalled any of the poker clients yet.

Quite literally all I've done is reinstall XP, then MS Office, and Photoshop. That's it. Yes, I browse tons of poker websites, but i've never seen this type of Party affiliate browser window -- anyone seen something similar or know what may be going on here?
