I get this message often since I tried to send a "spyware beware" log. Help

Insecure Internet activity. Threat of virus attack
Due to insecure Internet browsing your PC can easily get infected with viruses, worms 
and trojans without your knowledge, and that can lead to system slowdown, freezes 
and crashes.
Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information. 
To get full advanced real-time protection for PC and Internet activity, register 
AntiSpyCheck. 
We recommend you to protect your PC now and continue safe Internet browsing. 
Click here to get full advanced real-time protection and continue browsing. 
Continue to this website unprotected (not recommended). 

It takes the form of a box and tries to resemble genuine Windows format design. I 
think it's a version of antispyware 2008

In that case, you should post on their forum for help and let them know the problem/s 
you had going through those steps. 

Installing and using FF doesn't get rid of an infection, naturally.
