I'm getting a pop-up during some (but not all) boot ups in the morning. It
gives me the option of allowing it or cancelling it - cancelling means I
don't know what the program is and don't want it to load.

What the heck is going on? Is this mal-ware? Is it already on my computer?
My mal-ware scans with Ad-Aware don't mention it. Nor do scans by Windows
Defender. But it's spooky....
 
Does the name verizon.exe give you a clue? Have you recently switched to
Verizon or have you considered it? Is there someone else that might have
installed something in your system?

Note that you say "a pop-up" and that is the entire description of what you
are getting. It is unlikely anyone can help you; are you expecting people to
be psychic?
 
Thanks, Sam, you have answered my question. No one else is getting this, so
it must be bundgled with my new laptop (even though I can't find it). And
yes, I have a cell phone with Verizon, but I don't remember telling Verizon
my IP - although they do know my email (the ambigious 'pop-up' appears
mysteriously on my desktop with no other windows open.
 
I did not say that no one else is getting it. You have not specified what it
is. It might be a relatively obscure virus, so the fact that none of the
relatively few people that look here have not seen it proves nothing. As far
as I know, you should not have any software in your system from Verizon, but
I could be wrong.
 
Did you intend to reply to me? I assume not, since you say "you need to post
the complete text of the popup", but this reply was posted as a reply to me.
