Oh no Cat.... there is a virus called Windows Security (I had this or something VERY similar) and it seems it has already infected your computer. It is designed to look official at first glance. Part of this virus is to stop access to the internet to prevent you from downloading any antivirus software. Stop everything and run a (or several) virus scans immediately. Do not back up anything as you could backup the virus.
Run Norton, Avast or whatever you have installed then any malware protection you have. I use Avast as a general antivirus but also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware since some viruses can slip by one protection. In fact, when I think something has accessed my computer I run 4 different programs to ensure it has gone.
Please do it now. The longer you leave it the more entrenched it will become on your computer.
