I believe you have a rogue antivirus program on your computer as well, i would download a program called "removefakeantivirus" from http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Remove-Fake-Antivirus.shtml.
Then use a program called superantispyware from http://www.superantispyware.com/

Hopefully this will remove it and remember to run the removefakeantivirus as an administrator to fully stop and delete the proccesses attached to the fake software.

I have seen about ~40 of these cases in the helpdesk i work at and i have fixed it by using those two programs.

Hope this helps
