That is a Rogue anti malware and is in itself malware. thus you are infected!

Use the following utility to clean your PC.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

You are still infected.

A few choices...

- Wipe it. Start with a clean install
- Take it to someone who can clean it up for you (know they may wipe it.)
- Start researching yourself to clean it up (know you may end up wiping it.)

If you are going to try cleaning it up yourself - get the free removers
from:
- http://www.superantispyware.com/
- http://www.malwarebytes.org/

As a start.
