Cannot get rid of Pop up suggesting I have Viruses all over my Computer... it is some sort of Scam as AVG picks up nothing and there are no operational problems.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Browser
2.Will appear randomly
3.One of two will appear
Actual Results:  
One pop up is for a Register Defense product...
the other shows all my drives as being infected...
nonsense.

Expected Results:  
Spyware pop-ups etc. should be eliminated by AVG or CClean.
