It's most likely spyware. Download Install and run:
Free Anti-Spyware:
--SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY http://www.safer-networking.org/ Download and install Spybot - Search & Destroy with its TeaTimer option.
This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with
the program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
--AD-AWARE http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware Download and install Ad-Aware. You should use this program to scan
your computer on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
--SpywareGuard http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
--SpywareBlaster http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions.
After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items.

You should be careful of popups like that. Sometimes they are viruses and when you click the update button they install viruses on your computer.

Because somehow you have gotten adware on your machine. Download Ad-Aware and install it and run it.
