Such a message is an indication that your PC is host to some unwanted
malware.
Check your system using your preferred antivirus application making sure
first
that you are using an updated current set of viral reference signatures.

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware
6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also
SpyBot
Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check
your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as
good
as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program
called
BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for
unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help
prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best
way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html).
Create a
folder called hijackthis on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that
folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of
Internet Explorer and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log,
provided
that it isn't too long, to this thread, otherwise to the HijackThis Forum
at
http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/ and hopefully this will enable someone
to
identify the cause of your problem.
