This smells like a virus masquerading as an anti-virus in order to extort money from you.

Get a real anti-virus and clean your system.

go to programs and features in the start menu. look for the name of the anti-virus program and try to un-install it! if not try turning of your windows defender in the control panel!

Also, you should think about a reputable anti-spyware like Spyware Doctor, for removal and prevention of the parasite like this one. Here is the unpaid its version is provided:

It sounds like you are infected with a ‘rouge’ anti-virus program. ‘Rouges’ are fake programs that display fake alerts in an attempt to try and scare users into purchasing the full version. Don’t fall for their crap.
Download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and perform a scan. It is very good at removing these types of ‘rouge’ programs.
