When you see the prompt, can you capture a screen shot of it and post it here?

Any idea where the prompt is coming from? Could "cf" stand for Cold Fusion (a web server product)?

Since it is your work PC, you probably have staff available to check for any security issues, but you also could consider running some supplemental scans in case those are phishing attacks. These two tools are highly regarded:
