What is this? Virus?

So I'm on my facebook and then another browser window pops up with one of those fake virus scanner programs that says your infected please go to this website to fix it. I don't. But I've been trying to find what is the culprit for this. I don't see anything in the running processes that pops out on me. I've ran Combofix,Malwarebytes and AVG scan and nothing is found.

Does anyone know what to use to get rid of it?

i too get this once in a while when i try to open some movie site it's getting redirected to it. What i use to do is to do a quick scan.. Clear all cache memories... then it's gone. :)

But i get this once in a while so i didnt took it serious as these movie sites often redirect to lot of junk webpages.
 
it's a firefox add-on. go to firefox add ons and search for adblock plus. then install it. they when you see the pop up, right click on it and select "AdBlock image" and will block the URL that the pop up comes from.

Click to expand...

True that but, that doesnt stop pop-ups from IE which, is where they almost always come from.
