Weird Networking Message

I just got this today as I opened up Firefox:

http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j9...on-Problem.jpg

What do I do? Do I have a virus or something? I've never seen this before in my life. Is this supposed to be a marketing trojan or is Microsoft trying to make me buy Windows Defender?




What kind of free virus scanners could I use to find out if anything went wrong?



Lemme know.

I have a wireless router setup. Should I call Belkin to see how to secure this network?

It also brings me up to the next link:

Is this real? How do I get rid of this problem? In my Virus Chest for Avast! I only have a Winamp Toolbar thing as an "Infected" item....

What do I do?

Download and run the free anti-malware.

You are protected just fine with a router, Windows firewall, and a quality antivirus and antispyware that runs in the background, such as AVG. What you are seeing is spyware, and it's completely bogus.
