Fake Online scan?(20 chars)?

I was visiting facebook and a new window poped up. it said it was a "free online file scan", and found potentially dangerous trojan ware. has anyone else gotten this? when you click "delete virus" you have to download something. is it true? or fake? i really want this little bubble to stop popping up! but i need to know if there really is a "Critical System Warning!" help?

    Never download anything … it’s a scam !
    If you don’t have an anti virus, download Avast
    http://www.avast.com as well as malwarebytes
    http://www.malwarebytes.com

    They are both free and good !

    It’s fake. You cannot have an online scan of your computer. If you have a "critical system warning" on your task bar though, then you are infected, but the virus is the "critical system warning" itself.
