The trojan was called coolwebsearch. It attacked my google management services website, installed the pop up code in the html so that when I updated and uploaded my files to my server, the pop up showed up.
What's even more crazy is that the pop up linked to a website that Google is chasing for trademark violations. That trojan caused my entire Google campaign to shut down for 48 hours. In the meantime, everyone who happened to click on my website (my Overture advertising was still working) got handed advertising for a $39.95 Google e-book until I fixed the code and reloaded the pages last night.
