Virus issue
Okay, so a while ago our laptop was infected with a virus, apparently from something called limewire, but it was deleted and our laptop was clean. Well, this evening my sister was on facebook and she also got onto this site, I don't know exactly what it's called, maybe Live Lobby Chat or something along those lines? Well, she was just going about her business when all of a sudden, it shut down on her and the screen came up saying WARNING YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN INFECTED! And it's trying to sell us a virus protection software, which we can't afford at all.
Is it because of that chat site my sister was on? Or maybe something else?

Most likely it's just a popup advertising a fake antivirus program. Just close it, make sure to use the actual close button, a lot of these popups have a fake close button near where the real one is that's still part of the ad, so when you click it you go to their site. There are lot's of free antivirus programs out there. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) is a good one.
