What did the popup warning say ?
You ask the wrong question.
1. If the warning is genuine, then take care of the security problem. Getting rid of the popup is sweeping under the carpet. You still have the security issue.
2. If it comes from a rogue (fake) anti-virus program, then you must get rid of the rogue program, not the warning.
