I'm no expert, but this could be a scam popup. Not from Sweeps advantage. Do you have Mcafee installed?
Here is a link to more info.

I get this from Mcafee ALL the time. I've never used Mcafee since I've had a computer.

You can receive some false positives even from Norton. On the safe side you should scan your system for adware. I recommend Malware Bytes. They have a free version that you can run manually and clean any problem. I have this installed on all my systems even though I have Norton as well.
