do not click on it
as it is a likely a phony
message trying to lure you
to a place of corruption and
mal intention.

since infections are having a difficult time
bypassing and circumventing your anti virals,
then it is likely you have somekind of freeware
that is not infected per se, but is programmed to
give you a phony alert message.

the purpose of the message is to lure you
to a malware site where you are then
persuaded to download an official and professional
looking software that is really a trojan horse - malware in disguised.

then if you install the malware, you will be again
persuaded to turn off your firewalls
and antivirals to install the antiviral - a phony one that is.

anyways, back to your system and issue:
when such an alert pops up, then you
should be able to find the process for it
running and prioritized in memory.

do a ctrl-shift-esc
and keep the process window opened
while you are working on your pc.

Then wait for the pop up again and see what
process becomes the priority one imposed
upon your system and your attention.
