Windows 7 Drive Optimizer Pop Up advertisement appears after I shut down my browser.

Is AVG aware of what this is?  

Right now I think Phishing. But AVG SHOULD 2016 Internet security suite should protect me from something like this. Right?

All info about the legitamcy or potential malware on this would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks.

Brian
