Pop up:  System Error - Your computer is infected with a dangerous virus

Asked by mouse1234 in Anti-Virus, Spyware / Ad Blockers, Internet

I apparently wasn't paying close attention and clicked on download a video of some type when I was doing a google search - I thought I closed the application before it started.  However, I now get an annoying pop up message appear everytime i open IE, or even search for something in I.E.

Also appears when opening other windows and is highly annoying.  When ever i do a google search it includes one porn related reuslt
The Message itself says :

System Error!

Your system is infected with a dangerous virus!
Note: Strongly recommend to install antispyware program and avoid a total crash of your computer

Click ok to download antispyware(recommended)
Followed by OK  CANCEL buttons.

Of course i immediately click the red cross to kill the pop up  
At the time, my virus software of out of date - have updated this and also installed Spyware doctor - scans with both have not taken care of the problem.  
I read a very similar question posted here but was not really able to follow it.Start Free Trial
