Queen RR...you said a mouthful! 
First time it happened, I went huntin'. Thought a buggerbear downloaded (even with securities). Silly thing just pops up. Thankfully, I haven't found one strange file/folder/whatever on my puter from it.
It IS a PITA, though. Would be nice if these dears that think it's cute would stop.

I got it several times today, and it usually popped up between opening two emails so I'm not sure if it came from the one I had just finished (like an exit pop) or from the one I was opening.
I was doing emails from YourPTR, CAC, and Polar at the time.
Very interest I click polar email and never seen wizard pop in. 
I am gonna check it out click polar email right now.

Finally finish click all polar email. I am ready to do that --->
Because there pop up really annoy and slow down my computer! I don't see any wizard pop up.
You might try start--->search--->change preferences----->click without an animated screen character. Then see what happen later if still wizard pop up. Will know which your computer or internet did that.

Does anyone ever buy anything from these annoying pop up ads? All they do is No way wil I buy from a pop up ad or look at their message. Ticking me off is not the way to get me in a good mood.

It's from the ads, not my computer. When I close the windows, Merlin goes away.

He sure is one annoying little badger
