Default Adware ?

Since this morning (2nd March) I have been bombarded by
popup messages claiming that my computer is infected by various malware,
spyware and god knows what and wanting me to download (ie buy) some
unspecified new spyware protection.

Three times I have disconnected from the internet, rebooted and run scans
offline with my Norton Internet Security. Each time it has found nothing.
The last time, I ran LiveUpdate first, just to check that my Norton was up
to date. It was.

So what is this ? Some new software selling scam that Norton Internet
Security can't protect against ?
Just wondering if anyone here has met this and knows what to do about it.
Has it installed a process I can delete ?
