NO NO NO NO NO NO!
DO NOT CLICK IT!
It is a Trojan Horse virus. I did it and had to end up buying a new computer.
The same thing also happened to a friend of mine too.
It looked safe too because it popped up on my toolbar, but the next day I could not turn on the computer.
If you want to update Java, go to their website. DO NOT trust this pop up!

in case you have an anti-virus, I propose you confirm it has the main up-tp-date virus definitions and run it. in case you don’t have one, many human beings here swear via AVG (it’s unfastened). I additionally propose you acquire advert-conscious SE and Spybot S&D (they’re unfastened), installation them, replace them and run them. If any of the above do not look to have the flexibility to get rid of each thing it comments finding, attempt working it returned, this time in secure Mode. secure Mode oftentimes prevents the malware from working and retaining itself. additionally, turn off equipment fix to evict any copies of undesirable stuff that could be lurking there. To get into secure Mode: a million. sign off and reboot your device. 2. whilst the device starts off the reboot sequence, press the F8 key persistently. 3. go with secure Mode from the consequent menu. 4. The device will proceed booting, however the abode windows computer will look distinctive. you will not have the flexibility to be certain the internet, working example. Log in as Administrator. Administrator oftentimes has no password. 5. once you're complete, sign off and reboot returned into commonly used mode. replace and run all of them regularly. reliable luck.

It is a Trojan virus which will when downloaded attach itself to the internal bios on your computer. When you turn off your computer, when you try to restart, it will completely shut you down.
You will not even be able to use your start up disk to access your CD ROM. The system will not let you do so.
