While browsing this "thing" keeps closing my open windows and just leaves a message from fixthemnow.com saying your computer may be infected we will scan your hard drive and fix any errors. If I Cancel/Close the window I just keep getting redirect to FixThemNow - Fix computer problem. Fix slow computer, corrupt file and hard drive errors.
How do I get rid of this?
I have run AVG, CCleaner, AVAST, and Ad-Aware and it still happens.
There is now set time that this happens. I could be browsing for ages then next thing my Firefox tabs close and that stupid message comes up.
Help?

Its malware, whatever you do don't give in to blackmail. Their plan is to infect you, then make you pay to "remove" the infection. Only, when you are done you will be most likely worse off than you are now.
The solution is to use some good anti-spyware software to remove the problem. Google HiJackThis for some help. That can give you a dump of what is infecting your browser. If you post this up onto the forums you should get some answers.
You could also try Spybot Search and Destroy, this is free.
Failing that there is Spyware Doctor and NOD32 which are both good, but not free.
