I assume that the 'message' that you refer to was a Pop Up !!!

If so...

and, 99.99999999999999999999% sure it was...

NEVER allow anything to be D/Led to your computer from these garbage sites...

They are tricks that will almost always cause you harm...

Many will look very much like 'Official UpDate' sites...

DO NOT close them by clicking on the "X-Box"...

Instead, Right-Click once on the Task Bar at the bottom where you will see the name of the open window...
Left-Click on CLOSE...

This will not guarantee that you do not have the crap installed, anyway, but it certainly reduces the number of times you will be 'infected' by malicious commercial s h i t .
