What is security.com-detect error?

My phone keeps getting hijacked by this pop up that takes me to the play store to get a security app. I have AVG and it can not find any risks. It only happens when I click a link through to a chrome site. Note, this happens when I click links from legitimate emails or Facebook postings. I force close the chrome window to make it stop but it happens often. How do I get rid of this malware?
 
You've probably got something saved in the browser cache. Go to settings>apps>chrome and clear the cache. Then restart your phone and it should go away. You might want to clear your browsing history, too.
