You have been visiting a web site that has been infected or that is hosting malware.
Never respond unrequested pop-ups that try to persuade you to download and install software.
Doing that is the way to get malware because no decent company would use such methods to inform you about that.
You only saw an animation and not a real scan of your computer.
If they want to force visitors to install malware then they make all buttons do that including a No or Cancel button, so be careful with clicking in such a pop-up.
