No, it means someone is trying to get into your PC from the outside world. If there is a little click box to prevent the window from coming up, click it and hit ok. The person should still be blocked but you wont' be bothered with it.
Probably not a virus. The computer attempted to contact you, it doesn't say that it got in. This is normal on a network, the other computer is probably using file sharing software that searches the network for clients to connect to. If it's always the same address, that could be cause for alarm. Either way, if they can't get in, don't worry about it.
sounds like a spyware, maybe some "free" software that u dll, install his own back door
Like the others here said, this is an attempt to connect to your machine from the internet. Most likely for malicious reasons. The message is comming from McAfee firewall, not antivirus.
