Always cracks me up when one of those pops up on one of my Linux desktops. Nice try!!!Also be aware that some fake pop ups claim you have a virus & it needs to cleaned immediately (by clicking on the button). Some of these look almost exactly like a legitimate windows Defender screen. They go the great lengths to make them look convincing/genuine.
Since it appears you may have adware, suggest you run AdwCleaner, which is good at ferreting out that kind of malware.

Here's one example of a program trying to impersonate a legitimate MS program. Looks pretty convincing, doesn't it?
