Microsoft says never click any part of a popup, only use ALT + F4 to close it.
Try System Restore while you are in Windows Safe-Mode.

Sounds like you (or your kid) installed a rouge malware program disguised as an antivirus program...probably Antivirus 2009. If that's what you have, try googling 'Antivirus 2009 removal'
And as Chuck 2 said, you should NEVER click OK on any popup you're unfamiliar with.
