I think it happened when I clicked the A on the free Applique alpha. Not positive though. What a day waster that was!
If you do get the pop ups, don't touch it, close your browser and restart your computer and then scan for viruses and malware.

Make sure you run a scan in "safe mode". Run scans until they show no problems and then boot into normal mode and run scans again. Good luck!

Thanks, I followed the directions on Malwarebytes to use Chameleon (a component of their scanner) and it caught it, after that everything else worked. It even stopped my Microsoft Security Essentials.

Thanks for the warning...that's the last thing I need...just got back up and running a couple of weeks ago from the Smart Trojan worm I picked up at Embroidery Passbook then...that took me three weeks and a new operating system to deal with...

Probably the same one I just got, Smart Shield. I think I finally got it off.
