It is a virus claiming that it is anti-virus software. It tells you that you have lots of problems with your computer, but the number of problems is generated randomly each time. It tells you that it needs your credit card details to buy the full version and fix the problems, but don't enter the details, otherwise they will buy stuff on your card.
I don't know how the virus got on my computer in the first place, as I'm pretty sure I didn't download anything, so just be careful of what websites you're on next time.
The way I got rid of it was to do a factory reset on my computer, and I think that that fixed it, but my computer was rubbish anyway, so I bought a new one.
One piece of advice: Buy a mac!
