1. Click "OK", because popups are bad and uninstalling them seems like a good idea.
2. Place the computer in the oven at 450°F for 20 minutes to kill any viruses
3. Call the kid next door and give him all your passwords
4. Hit "cancel" because running foreign executables is a bad idea.
5. It doesn't matter as long as you have a firewall.

ummm 4?

Oh sorry, the correct answer is running a browser that kills pop-ups or killing the pop-up with task manager, clicking cancel could install a trojan if the box is a bit of java/activex magic.
