Anti Spyware 2009 keeps popping up? Virus?

I’ve gotten this popup twice now, but I do keep x’ing out. It is on my computer though? And how do I make sure it’s not and how do I get rid of it? I’m not too computer savvy so any step by step instructions would be helpful. I have AVG antivirus if that helps.
Ok, i’ve run Malwarebyte’s in full scan, checked my add/remove and it’s not on there, and can seem to find it in my registry keys. Is this just a random popup I can expect to see while on the Internet? My Sister in Law was on myspace two weeks ago, i’m assuming that’s what happened?
Mick: As soon as I asked this, I realized others had also, sorry! I just got scared, I try my best to keep my computer as clean as possible and any threat panics me.
Dunbar: I didn’t realize I was allowing third party popups, even though I have the Google pop up blocker. I fixed that per your instructions.
