Answer 1

Many web sites have advertisers that are dubious in nature. Many pop up ads or banners will tell you "they've detected a virus" or some such nonsense.

It's just a ploy to get you to click on the link and then pay for the software. Even if the software you download is "free" it will run a scan and tell you that you are infected with a million things. If you want to remove them, then you have to purchase the program.

Scam.

Answer 2

Nope its just an advertisement and whatnot to try and get you to download a product that's usually a virus itself

Answer 3

Answer 6

This was just a scam. Lots of pop-up like these float in the internet. Lucky that You didnt click on the pop-up. You could have been infected with Trojans...
