I have read that many of these pop-up messages will download the virus no matter if you click "yes", "No", or try and close the message by clicking the "X" in the top corner. In this case you would need to end task on your browser completely, disconnect your internet connection before clicking anything, or turn off your computer.

Click on the X or "close" and a secondary popup comes up. I think the idea is to get you so frustrated that you finally just give in. I had to push the reset button on the underside of my computer to get rid of it.
