Q: Help plz! I got popup as "smithvirusalert" on safari & it doesn't go away when I close safari!!

I got a msg on Safari saying header:"www.smithvirusalert.com" and saying:"windows detected virus alert due to suspicious on ur computer" with a toll number to call and I tried forced quit but when i re-opened Mac, it re-appeared on Safari once I opened it with exact same 3 pages and website "same as 1st time it appeared" !! Is it dangerous? My laptop has important stuff? What should I do to make it go away?!
