Here's an example of a pop-up you will get when your computer is infected with BetterSurf adware. You can find the name of your adware program at the top-right corner of the pop-up. As you can see, in this example, it says 'Ads by BetterSurf' which means that you need to uninstall a program called BetterSurf and related adware from your computer.
In this case, the pop-up from rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net says that I need to update Java. However, it didn't even check what version of Java I'm currently using. What is more, it uses a download manager to download Java updater when in fact you can download it directly from Oracle website. The software downloaser is detected as Adware.Downware.1676, Win32/OutBrowse, DomainIQ by multiple anti-virus scanners, scans results. As you may already know, such software downloaders offer users to install additional software, mostly toolbars, browser hijackers and adware. Don't use third-party software downloaders and if you must then read everything very carefully and decline any offer you may get. Otherwise, you will probably end up with adware on your computer.
