Task bar problem

[Lions say rawrrr]

Today a red circle balloon type thing with a red X popped up on my taskbar and it says "your computer is infected" I tried to right click it and nothing will happen and it won't go away. I have done virus and spy/adware scans and nothing, I even tried restarting three times and it won't go away. Anyone know how to help me?
