Windows MS pop-up!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Everytime I log on to the computer a Help and support window pops-up. Nothing
on it, just blank. How can I remove this constant pop-up?

In my case, it happens when i am browsing the internet. Randomly the help &
support window Appears, after passing the mouse pointer over a link.

Any help?
Thanks you very much in advance
