The Windows Installer Service is trying to auto-repair an installed application. You can see what the service is actually trying to do by looking application event log (enter eventvwr in the Start Run box) for entries that have MsiInstaller in the Source column. Nine times out of ten, if the original installation .msi file can be found in the same location as it was installed from, the pop-up dialog will disappear of it's own accord after completing the repair and not be seen again.

One way of disabling the Installer is to use the DisableMSI (Type REG_DWORD) policy. This policy will disable the Windows Installer, thereby stopping resiliency. The policy is set through the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

If the value of this per-computer system policy is set to "2", the Windows Installer is always disabled for all applications.

If this policy value is set to "0" or any other number other than "1" or "2" or is absent, the Installer is always enabled.

If this policy value is set to "1", the Installer is disabled for nonmanaged applications but is enabled for managed applications. This setting does allow an application to be advertised to all users of a computer but does not allow an application to be advertised to the current user.

NOTE: While this policy is set to "2" you will not be able to perform an installation or use any function of the Windows Installer.

It can be malware, you have use one of malware removers. Some programs such as anti viruses and firewalls pop up when you start your computer. Most of those good programs do not have a feature to stop poping up. If you do not need that program try to disable it using Win+R->msconfig->Boot.
