Something got into my blog, how do I get rid of it?

Hi all
I've posted this at the Blogger help forum but it seems there's no one to help there, I hope someone can help me here!

My blog:

www.batravelguide.com

Since yesterday, whenever accessing my blog, a box appears asking for a user name and password for a site or chat room, with this legend if using Firefox: "Authentication required - A username and password are being requested by businesschat.ru. The site says: "Member-Only Access"
Or just "http://Businesschat.ru" and a request for a username and password with Explorer.

Of course I have never installed this. I checked all my side bar widgets and apparently it is not there. Where can I find it and how can I get rid of it?

I'd appreciate any help as soon as possible.

Thanks!

    I really don’t know, but it sounds like some advertiser you have downloaded is using a pop-up. You have several advertisers, its probably one of them.

    My guess is that it is related to something in your sidebar. Delete everything from your sidebar. Then add everything back one by one to see which widget that is the culprit.

      I solved it! I was one of the sidebar widgets. Thanks!
