Does that pop-up show up when you have Firefox/IE (or other Web browser) running? You might just need to install a pop-up blocker (or enable it in Firefox). Otherwise, you’ve probably got malware on your system.

malwarebytes worked for me
Don’t click that link, it infects your computer. My Norton AV was useless.

Free Avast works too.
Sounds like you already have something on there.

I have always run AVG, and use Spybot and Windows Defender, but thay didn’t catch this one.
Malwarebytes is the only thing that put a stop to it.

Go to Kim Komando (komando.com) free downloads. Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware are very effective. AVG is also a must. ZoneAlarm is also a great addition. I’ve used all of these for several years. Run Spybot and Adaware often.

It's a form of malware commonly called "scareware." DON'T buy it.
HERE is a link to some information and a removal tool. There is a set of instructions for manual removal if you're really paranoid, and I'm really paranoid.
Hope this helps.

Oh, and ditto the stuff about drinking too. ;-)

Okay, how do you fix this:
There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.
It is not the site, I get no such message on my laptop.

People on this thread will recommend all kinds of fixes for a fundatmental problem: Windows. Spybot Search and Destroy, Adaware, AVG, Kaspersky, ZoneAlarm, etc, etc, ad nauseum. Life is too short to struggle with all of that nonsense. I use Linux for Internet access and don’t go online with Windows.
