McAfee has published a document for customers who may be experiencing issues such as yours and is very effective. I believe you have a rogue fake antivirus which is mentioned in the document.
I suggest you follow the steps suggested and run the McAfee Stinger scan to see if it finds anything. Please report back and let us know if you need further assistance.
