either you have an old, outdated antivirus that can identify but not treat a certain virus...

or it's a tricky virus like this - http://www.microsoft.com/security/encyclopedia/details.aspx?name=Win32%2fMywife.E%40mm - that tells you to download antivirus... but you may be downloading something else instead...

update your antivirus, and run it. do not do it through that pop up. do it manually yourself. also, run a spyware program like spybot or ad-aware

use kaspersky (antivirus)
use spyware doctor (for clearing spywares)
use tune up utilities (to clean up and speed up your pc)
