Brave Sentry is a scam, a rogue program, an attempt to swindle money from you. When you downloaded Brave Sentry you actually downloaded a trojan called Zlob with it.
Then that Zlob trojan "phoned home" and downloaded a virus called Smitfraud which is what is giving you the pop-up warnings.
To rid your comp. of Smitfraud and Brave Sentry, you will need to use a special tool called RogueFix.
All the information and the free removal tool is here:

Good luck.
EDIT: Do NOT go to the Brave Sentry website as someone suggested, you will only get more trojans and worms!

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or the date when the old antivirus was installed. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
The problem is likely to be solved. Then,you insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

When you go to your start button and programs go into All Programs and to that program folder and see if it has an uninstall program with it...If it dosn't the next thing I'd do is go to their website because I'm sure you wouldn't be the first one to have this problem
