As I mentioned earlier, 135 is closed (I'm behind a
corporate firewall, virtually everything is closed) and the
messenger service is stopped/disabled. Still have the
problem.

Are you using a popup terminator too? I use Free Surfer mk II that
lists the popups that are terminated and ones that got through and
become active. Sandboxer.com was the culprit. Spybot couldn't fix the
problem on my system either. But I did eventually solve it:

If that were the case you wouldn't be getting these problems so fairly
obviously it isn't the case.
