Hello eaglesclw, probably you are in a fake website, but if you are suspicious for malware then, try all the next free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated, or a claim that your system has mal-ware;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While the update notice may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the web site of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to Mozilla.org. {web link}

If the message says you have a virus, how could it know? FAKE ! !

You can also report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
