Running on Windows XP..have the new 8.0 AVG working fine..But this keeps happening..At the bottom right of the screen a red symbol with a X keeps popping up saying "you have a security problem"

I click it and this site comes up : http://scan.antispywarefreescanner.com/241/3/?sp=1087

Even after I say Get Me Outta Here..a few seconds later the same symbol pops up at the bottom of the screen:mad::mad:..any help guys??:)

Its a virus / adware. delete it. Use Nod32 to scan your PC....
No matter how many times you click it, its gonna keep coming up
