Is this a virus????

i have this thing on my computer and it pops up and says i have spyware and that i should download this program to get rid of it. i have downloaded other free ones that supposidly got rid of the spyware but the message gets popping up.

when i click on the message it brings me to a site with a program called "virus protectpro"

i was wondering if this was a virus becase i have heard of fake anti-virus programs that were in fact viruses

thanks
