Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It is called "rogue"
because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!

Because you didn't give me the name of the program that is trying to get you
to buy it, I can't point you to specific removal steps. Look for them here:

If you are infected with XP Antivirus or Antivirus 2009/10, here are removal
steps:

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the
computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected
by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.

If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the
specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of
Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or
how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer
professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of
places.

Hi. You might actaully have a virus and what you are seeing is called "rogue"
(fake) antivirus software. They might not actually be looking for you money,
but instead looking to infect your PC more, steal your personal info, etc...
I am not too skilled on the subject but I have hear the worst. I would
recommend finding a good technical support company to fix this for you. The
best site that I came accross that handles viruses 100% and gives you a
guarantee is http://www.mycuredcomputer.com
