I had this problem once recently. I revolted the computer and cleared the cach and haven't had it since. Bank and website passwords will be unchanged by a change of pc but if you have any of them saved to the computer for auto log in or remember me, then you will need to out them in again.

There are worms that pop up a fake credit card verify box when a credit card number sized numeric string is typed into a browser. If it asks you to enter other information about the card then don't do it. Data relevant to the card should be in the original form.

Try typing something that looks like a credit card number into a field in a form that is not intended for a card. If the popup appears then contact your financial institution immediately.

There may be others but the only genuine popup I know of in this circumstance is the Verified By Visa scheme. It will ask you your secret question which you previously submitted to them and you type in your secret answer.

However at least in Australia VBV has been deprecated.

If it is just an extra popup then it is probably a fake. Many of these worms now wait for some time before hitting your account in an effort to separate the ripoff from the compromised activity.

OK I have the same problem as Beso explained, it was when I enter an invoice number (that look like a credit card string) and the popup asking for Discover validation.... never had a Discover card !! and when it ask for my PIN number !! HELLO !!! it's smell scam.... but All the virus/malware software I try, no one found the problem !!
Panda, AVG, MalwareByte, SpyBot...

What it's the solution ??

Thank you

I have had no problem with 'bad' things happening.

I was having the same problem as you though - I think that it was my adblocker that was causing it. The pop-up asks for only certain digits in your password - I need all my fingers to work that one out.
