Humble apologies if this has already been raised before:

Some companies can send a pop up message directly to a PC at an IP or range of IPs via a net send command. The good thing is that these types of messages carry the IP address or URL of the sneder so they can be reported

I found a site to test if you are susceptible to this sort of intrusion:

theres also a reasonable explanation of it all
 
If you have Windows XP SP1 (which you should) you aren't succeptable. Everybody should have SP2 - so its not generally a worry.
