1= Don't even think going there or respond to that pop up.
First try to scan for malwares on your computer by running this tool:
http://www.safer-networking.org

Then Disable the Messenger if it running,also uncheck this option NeTBIOS
Over TCP/IP from your connection properties.
To do that Right click your connection and select properties then under
General Tab highlight the Internet Protocol and click Properties.
On the TCP/IP properties Under General click Advanced Button then click WINS
and Disable the Radio Button for ( ) Enable NeTBIOS over TCP/IP.
Open your Windows explorer and locate this path:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc = look in the right pane/window and locate
the HOSTS file but not the one with the extension *.SAM* leave this as is I
repeat leave it as is just open the HOSTS file.
Right click and select Open With and select the Notepad then on the Hosts
file opened in the Notepad remove any reference for these sites there and
then click on File and select save and close.

2 = download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post
your log to http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,

http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7, or other appropriate
forums for expert analysis, not here.
HTH.
Let us know.

That's not too much security. That's not enough security. You're not getting
protected from those crappy popups.

Do you have a firewall enabled?

Two part reply..

Perform Part 1 then perform Part 2.

If the first two parts don't work, perform the alternate section.

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe Mode.



Part 1
-----------

Use noahdfear's SmitFraud, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, et. al., removal tool -- SmitRem.exe
http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click counter/click.php?id=1

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html


Part 2
-----------

Download SmitFraud.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/SmitFraud.exe

Execute; SmitFraud.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML or
C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the end of the scan, it will be
displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer). However, if you are using
WinXP, Win2K or Win2003 your system will be left in a state where you will have to manually
shutdown/reboot the PC. On Win9x/ME platforms the report will not be shown in your bowser
but your PC will automatically be shutdown. It is suggested that you move the report out of
c:\mcafee before performing another scan.

It would be best to scan in both Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.


ALTERNATE:

S!ri's SmitfraudFix
