Although I have never seen that popup, I suggest that you install Microsoft's Windows Defender:

It's pretty lightweight, and takes care of a lot of the junk spyware that is out there.

I'd turn that into a clicky... but... um... naw... :D

Your system has been compromised. I recommend a format of the HD, reinstall Windows and then installing a decent firewall or better yet, buying a hardware one.

That's what ya get for porn surfing :P
