While browsing on MSN - 2 msgs pop up: one Microsoft Security Essential Alert saying Potential Threat Details (viruses listed) & another from Windows Internet Explorer saying Microsoft antivirus has found critical process activity & clean computer immediately

to prevent systems breakage.  Are these true messages from Microsoft?? i've never seen them pop up before...

I went to the Security Essentials Center and ran a (short) scan, which reported finding nothing.   Do I still need to click on the messages I received?  There is a "clean computer" botton on the msg from Microsoft Secuity.
