No idea why, but all of a sudden every 5 minutes or so, Mavericks is giving me the wifi login popup window.
It has some HTML code that displays 'Success'
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Success</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Success</BODY></HTML>
The only thing that has changed is that I did a standard OS X updated (Not an OS Upgrade).
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Me too!
I suspect it's Mail when it's checking to see if there's any new messages. It's only started happening to me today and I've done no new installs.
It looks like a mess-up at Apple's end. For a start-off someone has pasted the code into a web page creation program as if it was content instead of into a code editor. I don't know whether this is why the page is suddenly appearing - it's affecting a lot of people on iOS and Mavericks though I don't see it on Snow Leopard (I did when I changed my Mavericks iMac to use Wifi instead of Ethernet).
The page is apparently checked when a wifi connection is successful, but it shouldn't actually appear. Possibly the checking process expects to see the word 'Success' as the first text, which at present it isn't. It looks like something only Apple can sort out.
In the meantime temporary fixes have been suggested. Some versions of iOS may be able to turn off 'Auto Login'. As to Mavericks, Wyrmfire has suggested a temporary fix:

No, it has nothing to do with Apple Mail, it's a stuff-up at Apple's end by the looks of it where someone's saved a file as something like RTF format rather than in HTML, which has caused this pop-up, which normally isn't visible, to display (thereby annoying everyone).

Hey Roger- Good to read from you and hope all is well. Still miss you over at the RW/RMS forums 🙂
Ya, I've talked to other now and it seems this is an Apple issue.
As an previous 15yr employee of Apple including being the one of the original OS X Marketing Manager, it really saddens me to see Apple pushing out clearly defective and half baked software. WiFi management is just awful on 10.9 and up.
I think Apple needs to stop trying to do everything and really make their stuff as good as it used to be. Steve used to say, "Focus is about saying no." It seems Tim is now a yes man. How this problem ever got past QA is sort of beyond me.
And not a single squeak from Apple! What a complete and utter disgrace!
Wifi Login Window "Success"- How Do I stop it?
