I went to a website, and it copied my desktop and started to make message pop up like your computer is infected with malware and you must do a scan. I didn't to the scan i closed it and don't know if it affected anything. It was telling me to buy something, and i don't think the scan was a scan, it looked like downloading thing, but i closed it half way.

Your computer has a Smitfraud infection.
The standard tool to remove this pest is SmitfraudFix. The full removal procedure and the free removal tool is here:

Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG, Norton, or Spybot S & D cannot remove it.
Good luck.

Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

What you have is malware or spyware. The type that you have is pretty hard to get rid of. Download both Spybot and Adaware. Update and run both.
Hope they help.
