Several days ago, when or how I don't know, something
installed itself in my box. It pops a window up every time
the CPU idles. This message says "Windows XP Powertoys",
and the only two alternatives are to punch X in the top
right hand corner, or to go to the Windows XP product page
by pressing the button in the window.
Where did it come from ?
How do I get rid of it?
Can I sue Microsoft, I need a few million dollars?

This is the result of spyware, try running spybot or adaware to get rid of
this.
