Answer 1

You should never respond to such unrequested pop-ups.
Doing that is the way to get malware as no decent program would use such methods to inform you about that.
Always use a close X to close such a pop-up and never click a button.
If you want to install malware then you make all buttons do that including a No or Cancel button.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
