It's not so much about it being a pop up. I do use the google pop up blocker.
It looks more like a computer caution notice or critical error message. That's
why I think it may have to do with spyware. I can't understand why there is no
trace of it when I do a system search.

I doubt that Spybot can do much with popups. I also think that they are
mostly a nuisance rather than a security threat. The solution is probably a
popup blocker like the Google toolbar or an alternative browswer like
Firefox. Of course they won't get rid of the popups you already have.
