Answer 13

that is a fake antivirus program and is actually malware. the first thing to do is all of your personal browser info (history,cookies, browser cache) and anything else that stores temporary data, then try and find the source of it in your program files and delete it manually if you still cannot delete it from the add/remove programs list.
