Looks like your system is infected with some sort of
scareware. In that case it is likely that
- your system is infected with further malware
- your nod32 anti virus has been manipulated by malware to not scan properly anymore
You should check your system for malware with a scanner independent of your operating system.
You could download the
Avira AntiVir Rescue System. When you start it, it asks for a cd to burn itself to. Then you boot from that cd to scan your system for malware.
If it finds any, which it probably will from your description, you should backup your important data and reinstall a fresh windows, with all service packs, security updates and most recent drivers.
