Any such popup message will be scam. Do not interact with such messages.

As stedman1 states, this is very likely a scam via popup window from your browser.


To further check your computer you could download the free/trial versions of MalwareBytes (www.malwarebytes.com) and ClamXav (www.clamxav.com) to perform scans on your computer. I use both these tools as part of my computer defense.
