Fake Anti-virus pop up while online?

Sometimes when I click on a regular link that I always use, something weird pops up. It's not a virus link. I could be going to any website or click any link.

This thing comes up and says "Wait a minute! You may have a virus!" And starts scanning and won't let me leave the page unless I use Task Manager.

It has a little green bar that loads and it has a fake virus counter on it.

What is this and why am I getting this?
