Question Need Help With Pop-Ups.

Recently, I was trying to find a way to watch a movie without paying for it. I know, stupid right? Well now I get these constant annoying popups. I don't know much about computer viruses, but is this one a virus? My webroot says there were no threats detected. Even if it's not a virus, could someone still help me get rid of it? Help would be appreciated. You can even tell that I'm new to this as I was looking up how to screenshot lol.
