Apple discussion groups usually provide the answers you want, but do read through all the replies before you take action:

And remember, never trust popup ads and enjoy your mac- it doesn't need any type of add-on tools to run better or be more secure, and don't trust anything based on it's own promotion, research first!

Good luck!
