If you're getting a popup saying so in a web browser and didn't just upload a file, it's a scam.

If you're getting a popup saying so in a web browser and did just upload a file, delete that file or use ClamXav or a Windows product to scan it.

If you're getting ad popups or seeing other suspicious behavior, click here and run the tool.
