    It's doubtful that message came from microsoft.

    Make sure your Antivirus definitions are up-to-date and that you have turned
    off whatever services are not using;

    make sure you remove all ad-ware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ makes an
    ad-aware product ... disclaimer, this is a link to a third-party site
