When opening IE on a PC running Windows 7 64-bit edition I am getting pop ups saying "Viruses Detected" Dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed", "Definitions out of date"
When opening IE on a PC running Windows 7 64-bit edition I am getting pop ups on the bottom of the screen saying "Viruses Detected" Dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed", "Definitions out of date".
It looks to be some kind of Virus or Malware issue and since I have not been online with this brand new PC until today I am wondering why this is happening.
Any suggestions on what to do to remove these messages?

I have attached what I see on the bottom of IE. They are all blinking and seems for sure like a virus to me since they are asking to run a scan now etc.

Do not run the scan offered. Run a scan with your own trusted antivirus and antimalware.

We really need to see a screenshot of the messages, since there could be several reasons.
Yes, it could be malware/viruses. Have you scanned for them? I assume you have antivirus and perhaps antimalware installed. (A good antimalware program is MalwareBytes. http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free )
However, dwwin.exe is one of Microsoft Windows error reporting utilities. The Dwwin.exe gathers data about certain malfunctioning software. The message therefore could be caused by windows system files damage
So, run SFC /SCANNOW from a command prompt.
