Open Software Updater is a PUP (potentially unwanted program)/adware that can result in a variety of computer problems on a PC. Open Software Updater may be used for gathering the computer user's Internet surfing information such as the PC user's search requests, websites visited and time spent on those websites.
I don’t know whether Open Software Updater is actually on your system or not but you can look in Programs and Features and see if it is and uninstall it if it is.
You can stop the popup by adding the URL to the Hosts file:
1. Go to the Hosts file at the following path: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and right click on hosts, then select properties.
2. On the General tab, uncheck “Read-Only” and click Ok. The properties window will close.
3. Left click on the Hosts file and select notepad in the window that appears and click ok. Hosts will open in notepad.
4. On the first page after the last # sign, go to the end of that line, click there to put your cursor at the end of the line and press enter to insert a line.
5. on that new line type the following:
127.0.0.1
