It is fake, it is spyware that has infected your pc. Stop using internet explorer and switch to Firefox, its safer.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Either of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly.

Answer 2

Don't use it, it's a rogue spyware programme that scans your computer for free, finds an alarming number of infections then tries to get you to buy their sofware when really there's nothing wrong with your pc. I tried it...don't don't use it. The Spyware Doctor from Pc Tools is the best, it finds and removes everything suspicious and puts them in quarantine, then alerts you. Then you have the option of deleting some or all of what it's found. Hope this helps.
