NO. your pc is ok and nothing is at risk its only an advertisements/ads that makes you to download their softwares to use
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING THAT POPS UP RANDOMLY FROM WEBSITES

Don't download anything! This is a type of online scam known as phishing it's used to trick people into downloading a fake application from the internet with the intent of stealing credit card, website usernames, passwords, or other important information.
Never trust any popups claiming you've been infected by anything unless they are directly from your anti-virus or other security program. If you don't have any security installed i'd recommend Avast mobile it's free.
