District Spam?

This pops up on my screen EVERY TIME I re-boot or login on my work PC. Don’t get me wrong – it’s simple enough to click the "X" to make it go away, but do you know how many teachers and staff members have asked me, "What happened? What did I do? This just – you know – ‘popped up’ on my screen!"

My hypothesis is this: The people who know what IE7 is know enough to be using Firefox (if they have the rights to install it, that is…), and the people who have no idea what IE7 is think their computer has been hacked. Is this what happens when viral marketing goes awry?
