I have Trend Micro. Today, when I turned on my computor I got this "security alert" with recommendations that I download their removal software. It comes on anytime I hit intetrnet explorer. I did a virus scan and it detected no viruses. under the address bar I have a second bar with protection bar,remove adware popups,spam protection,scan for spyware and security test and I can't get rid of it. Right now on the bottom right hand corner of my screen I have this sign malware threats saying my computor is infected and to click this baloon to download malware removal software. Is this legitamate? If not, how do I get rid of it?

Sorry, but you have inadvertently downloaded a spyware program. DO NOT download the removal tool. It will not remove it, but only install more updates to the current spyware application making it a even more powerful threat.
The toolbar that is showing up is part of this spyware. Does the toolbar have any kind of identifying name in it? This might help you better identify it.
You may want to try looking at these different resources for further help:
