You may have spyware on your computer that is bringing you those messages. I would suggest going to trendmicro.com and running the HouseCall online virus scan. Though no scan is perfect, this one definately catches a lot of stuff.

Hi there,
As already mentioned by previous answerers, the popups you are experiencing are by a "fake" security company which is actually a spyware infection on your machine. If you followed it's links you would simply download yet more inections to your PC.
The most prevalent infections affecting many machines lately are either Pest Trap, Spy Heal or Virus Burst
The best and easiest way to remove this is by installing the Free Trial of Prevx1. This will scan your PC and remove this and any other infections free of charge.

This is a sneaky spyware trick. DO NOT download the suggested program. Instead, get antispyware programs and run them. Get ad-aware and spybot for free and run each one, one after the other. This should remove the offending spyware that is giving you this fake message.

Dont download. Have you tried scanning for spyware? There are many free ones out there. I found this guide pretty helpful, hope this helps. http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridofspyware.html
