My father-in-law's seeing popups that say
  "You have chosen to download upd.exe.  What would you like Firefox
to do with it?"
It sounds like this is a vnc exploit:

So if you have installed VNC on anybody's computer
to help you support them, now's a very good time to
either uninstall it, or updated it and tighten security
(e.g. by restricting access by IP address).

This has been going on for about a week, judging by a little
web searching I did for problem reports.
