This is what its called Scareware. It falsly alerts you have a virus and then forwards you to a crappy site to make you purchase a software that will remove your problem.
if you are on windows that is, but because we are on mac this doesnt affect us, jsut throw it again and dont go there anymore.

Has this happened to you?
So I tried to get off their list & suddnly a pop up warning directed me to http://antispywaremaster.com/
Besides hawking that I need to buy their software, a screen reported that they were scanning my computer and discovered spyware and virus infections like:
Trojan-Dropper.Win32.VB.om
Email.Worm.win32.Warezov.qy
Windows
CoolWebSearch(CWS).win32
Backdoor.SdBot.gen
Worm.Win32.Skipi.a
N-case.win32
and that these can be found in:
...\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
...\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe
...\Windows\System32\restore\restr.dll
...\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86\mdui.dll
...\Windows\System32\AdapterTroubleshooter.exe
...\Windows\security\database\edbres00002.jrs
This would trouble me, except that my Macintosh does not have Windoze (32 or otherwise) loaded in it.
Interesting, eh?
