Here is how to remove it its a fake malware program that wants you to purchase it..

One you have done that I would download

Malwarebytes Anti Malware and it should clean up your system.

If you are running a genuine version of Windows then you can download MS Security Essentials for free.  maybe not the best protection, but it's free!!

You need better protection than security essentials. First, install avast from www.avast.com it's free.
Then remove security essentials - more than one scanning program will hog system resources.
Make sure you periodically run malwarebytes anti-malware - it's just about as good as it gets, and
it's free.

Spybot is quite good as well, and you can alternate its use with Malwarebytes.

As Antivirus, I also run Avast.
