I had one of those fake virus alert pop-ups earlier and i just can't get rid of it. I have up to date Kaspersky running and I have scanned again with nothing arising, I have run MalwareBytes with nothing coming up and I have tried rkill and whilst it did say that it had killed a process, the pop ups are still there!!!

It is one of these things that is either trying to get me to buy their fake software or just going to give me a real virus.

It is only on my aol browser - Internet Explorer is absolutely fine.

Any ideas??

Such fake virus alert pop-ups may be caused by adware or other malware. If your antivirus software fails to find anything suspicious, try to scan again in safe mode or safe mode with networking.
