Utterly fake, and now you're infected by it. You will have to get some decent anti-spyware software to get rid of it:
Spyware Terminator (turn off web security guard): http://www.spywareterminator.com/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/ (use immunise feature)
Superantispyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/
Update all and scan your computer, removing or quarantining what is found.
In future, do not click on adverts, and do not download from dodgy websites promising free stuff that you have to pay for elsewhere.
Use firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/ and the AdBlock extension (http://tinyurl.com/2cd87q ) and whatever other useful extensions like Download Statusbar you want.
