The pop ups are caused by spyware and are to make you panic and send them money. They then claim to have removed the problem - which was never there!
Install and run some decent anti spyware and you'll be fine.
You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.

You need to install one anti virus;
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ -AVG anti virus or
http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus
You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Also use Microsoft Defender and their online scans.
And these are useful utilities;

little squares about two inch by one and a half? That's a script/runtime error. I think, It's a problem with the web page you're on not your p.c.

Run a spyware scanner, In all likelihood the popups telling you your bugged are spyware themselves.

These pop ups are nothing but nasty little bits of spyware infected in your computer. To get rid of them, download Spybot and give it a run.
