Suggest you download CCleaner- http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner - free download and run a scan, especially the registery. There are others that you should look at ADBLOCK is one I have (not 100% effective , but does the job)

2. MalwareBytes as well.

Rather than Adblock, use uBlock Origin, as Adblock lets people pay to get past filters.

3. Good - Changing to UBlock Origin

4. Malwarebytes

One of the best..Not 100%, nothing is, but damn good.

5. It's a scam

Please be careful when you receive warning message which requires you to download a certain program or call a certain number to fix the mentioned problem. That's definitely scam.
