Windows 10: Is this a scam/Is my computer unsafe?

My wife was using her computer at work when the following image popped up on the screen. She had to go to task manager, to get rid of them. Is this a legitimate error message, or is the computer now insecure. Do we have to worry about someone monitoring what we are doing with the computer, i.e. tracking our key strikes?


Any one know what to do next. We have the full security suite that came with windows 10 running on the machine, shouldn't this have caught something?
