A plug in is something added on to your internet browser to provide an additional specific functionality. If you are using Internet Explorer 9 you can manage your add-ons by clicking the Tools icon (or doing Alt+X) and selecting "Manage add-ons." If you observe the message you are getting and reply with information about what specific plug in it is asking you to install someone can give you more information.
