Hi lauzjp
Bit late on this, I know, but that pop up you saw was part of the WinAntiVirus family of crooks.
I hope you haven't got infected with it. The thing can be awkward to remove to put it politely.
Even if you are all OK I would recommend you give your computer a good check up and "spring clean" with an excellent program.
Download Ewido/AVG Anti Spyware from here ….
http://www.ewido.net/en/
It has a fully working 30 day trial period.
Install it and update it to the latest definitions.
Do
NOT use it yet.
Now boot to safe mode. Here’s a “how to†if you’re not sure ..

When in safe mode run a full system scan with AVGAS and let it fix what it wants to.
REMEMBER TO SAVE THE SCAN REPORT and also remember
where you saved it.
[FOOTNOTE > this is a good program to use as an “on demand†scanner even after the trial period is over. Keep it updated and use it to scan your computer from time to time].
If you still have pop ups, and/or any other problems, download HijackThis from here ...
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
unzip & install it ...
open the program ...
from the menu click on "Do a system scan and save a logfile".
Copy and paste both the AVG AS scan report and the HJT logfile to this thread. More specific removal instructions will follow for whatever it is that's causing the problem.
