Default security issues ? not sure

kinda worried here as i was seeking some old friends on myspace & clicked on
one entry & got a page that showed an alleged security scan being run. so i
ran my one quick scan on mse & over 35500 files were checked & no threats.

so i went into explorer & found something in windowssys32 called "drv
store"; i dont ever recall seeing that before & i see it on the av7 page,
text below.

i saw a similar window pop up a few days back, & on the page was a small
window, again, of an alleged security scan running & in that window i saw an
ip # & i ran it in the who is ip site & it came back to someplace that
listed in Hungary. so i just closed the window & no problems since; until
now.

not sure if i should just delete the page, or "start protection" as you see
in the pasted text below.

the url of the page that popped up is :

thanks so much for any/all

here's the copied text :

Default security issues ? not sure

im gonna try & get some sleep so need to shut it down. i did some more
research & found on bleeping computer .com that several have had false
warnings, but the moderator went ahead & offered up the below, so i closed
the window that said i had all those malware & did as he suggested.

thanks & here's what he suggested & what i did as well

If there are no longer signs of malware then please....

Create a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one.
Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore.
Since this is a protected directory your tools cannot access to delete these
files, they sometimes can reinfect your system if you accidentally use an
old restore point. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system
will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean
working state.

The easiest and safest way to do this is:
a.. Go to Start Programs Accessories System Tools and click "System
Restore".
b.. Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first
screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name, then click "Create". The new
point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so
you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
c.. Then use Disk Cleanup to remove all but the most recently created
Restore Point.
d.. Go to Start Run and type: Cleanmgr
e.. Click "Ok"
f.. Disk Cleanup will scan your files for several minutes, then open.
g.. Click the "More Options" Tab.
h.. Click the "Clean up" button under System Restore.
i.. Click Ok. You will be prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete
all but the most recent restore point?"
j.. Click Yes, then click Ok.
k.. Click Yes again when prompted with "Are you sure you want to perform
these actions?"
l.. Disk Cleanup will remove the files and close automatically.
