Thanks everyone. I found the file after setting Win2K to display system files.
I already had it set to display hidden files, but that was not enough. Once set
to display system files, I found the file msiexec.exe and renamed it. The Spyware
quit loading and the pop-ups went away. After running it a few days, I deleted the
file. The file came from the scum-bags at fastclick.com.
I hope this information is also useful for anyone else who gets this problem.
Regards,
Alfie
