I ran a 'Trojan.Vundo' remover - it said I wasn't infected.

Then I went to msconfig and studied the numerous things that load up
when I start up.

I unchecked them all and checked one at a time and started up.

Long story short - it was a NETZERO program called "exec" which 
pre-loads Netzero for a "quick start"....rubbish....

That was what kept trying to load itself and was constantly asking with 
that popup.

I am dumping Netzero.  The dialup loader is clunky, is full of ads, and
is always on top until done loading.  

Then it brings up IE whether or not I want to use it....they say they "are sorry, 
but they can't do anything about that!"

Can you believe that!?
