Rich has already asked if you installed anything prior to the problem. That would 
be the first suspect. Notice anything weird running in Task Mgr. when this comes 
up? 

Other than that, check in Add/Remove for anything suspect, you don't recognize as 
having installed yourself. Uninstall it/them if possible. Then boot into Safe mode 
to run a malware scan, less chance something will be running to interfere. Clear 
out all temp folders first, using CCleaner. Make sure you update MalwareBytes' before 
scanning again.
