have run avg free edition and says no threats found. antivirus 2009 say i have to buy the licence for it to remove said threats! Could this just be a ploy to make me purchase their antivirus? Ran search and destroy yesterday just as routine scan and nothing showed on that either.

ignore them, infact when that pop up came on my antivirus recognised spyware in it.

Yes, it's a scam. If you really want to make sure that you have no viruses, go to housecall.trendmicro.com and run the free online scan. It will take off any viruses or malware that is on your computer. Also, don't have more than one anti virus program installed on your computer. It makes it less secure because they interfere with one another. Avg is alright, Avast is better though if you want to look into that. Avast has a free version.
