Of course, if enough people set up for this, an infected server could
end up sporting a lot of popups, perhaps enough to effect a DOS by
chewing up memory with the popups.  I also get this picture of some
poor MCSE sitting there, trying to dismiss all of the popups (which are
likely to continue to pop up while he's clicking away) so he can try
and fix the machine.
