I think I may have recently had this one, but I ended up needing to reformat my system disk anyway, so no worries there. At least I know what to do if I see a security alarm now and see a bunch of popups showing up when I'm not even using a browser. Thanks for the tips.

Go to http://www.malwarebytes.org! I had that same problem and when I first learned about using it, I installed it, scanned my computer, and removed those annoyances! Trust me, it works!

Thanks for the comment, Ted. The best place to post your request for cleanup support is on the pctools “Spyware, Adware and Malware Discussion” forum here:
