uninstall any AntiVirus software u have..install Avast free and run a boot scan.

Also try scanning with malwarebytes n superantispyware in safe mode,not simultaneously though.

is it poping up on you web browser or computer.if its on your web browser, then check your addon and plugins extensions and remove any unusual app there.if its on your pc, then go to uninstall panel and find the app to uninstall.some apps are not malware so malware cannot detect it.even antivirus cannot detect it either because some came with a software you downloaded and installed without going through the software set up to untick or tick some selected options
Re: Ads By Name Virus! by dodobytes: 4:16pm On Apr 08, 2015
lemme quickly add to what bedfordng said,to be sure it is not a malicios addon or browser plugin,"scan for browser addons" using avast free and that should rid you of any addon nasties..cheers!
