The Annoying Security Shield 2012

One afternoon, I was browsing around the web when suddenly a program suddenly pop up, SECURITY SHIELD 2012. It suddenly scans my computer, detected 16 threats wherein it states that I do have a Malware and viruses on my computer that's why I have sudden corruption on my internet connection, etc. I ignored it, but every 10 seconds, it appears on my screen and asking me to remove this threats by purchasing the licensed software. I tried scanning the system with my licensed AVG Antivirus and no detection found, I used my Advance System Care too and nothing happens! The red pop up alert still appears every 10 seconds still. I panicked that I made back up of my files, as well as the drivers and registry keys then restart my computer. Again, nothing happens.
