I have Bitdefender Internet Security, and none of those pics look like Bitdefender.

I'd be very careful on what you click on. ^^
Those pics look like click-bait.


Open Bitdefender, and on the left side click on Notifications (the bell icon), and at the top click on All or Critical.
If Bitdefender "sees" anything, it will show up here...

Looks like browser, maybe fake meaning trying to make you believe have a virus. From Run command type MRT.exe run a scan

Hello, Lap.

As suggested above, run a comprehensive scan of your PC.

You may also be interested in doing a scan with AdwCleaner.

Best of luck.

Those look like ads to me.
I don't think they are trojans, do they show up outside the browser?
Within the browser, install Adblock as an extension, they will go away.

Do not click it! Your computer is not infected. Only trust the antivirus program you know is yours and ignore those popups. I paid for legit McAfee for a year and got those popups midway through the subscription, but it had nothing to do with the actual McAfee company.

These messages are 'spoofed' (fake) messages that pretend to be from McAfee and try to make you click one of their options. TIP: If you click the options in a fake pop-up or alert, the security of your PC might be compromised. So, it's always a best practice to read pop-ups or alert messages carefully.

As @WXC said up above run a scan with either will give you an idea of where to start if the scan comes back positive ! We usually recommend this program first !
