I'm getting popups randomly when using windows 7. I use Firefox as my web browser and this popup come in a IE window and at the same time it ask me if i want to use IE as my normal web browser. Is it some damn Joke from Windows 7?? or is it some kind of virus? I got windows 7 today.
Browser Ballot. You can thank Opera for crying about it since they were the only ones not gaining market share.
Uninstall IE if your on 7. Open add or remove programs, turn windows features on or off, then uncheck Internet Explorer.
Weird, I don't get this. Maybe it's cause I'm using an upgrade version, or Ultimate. Or maybe it's cause I don't have firefox installed? The world may never know.
Sounds like ad-ware, do a full scan on your anti-virus. If everything fails, reinstall windows 7.

Just go into internet settings in the control panel and disable checking if IE is the default browser. It's in the programs/software/somethinglikethat tab.
