Same thing happened while on 101. When the pop up showed up on the lower tool bar I tried to right click and close but it loaded the same as you. I uninstalled it and ran a scan. All seems ok but when I went on to skype it asked if I wanted to give access to it. Just said no there.

These types of problems typically don't have anything to do with the software you're using at the time, you probably have a malware infection. Run malware bytes and microsoft security essentials (ditch your other anti-virus most of it is bloatware).
