    Hi,

    · Do you have any security software installed on the computer?

    · When do you receive this error message?

    Run online virus scan and check if any malware or virus activity found on the computer. You may run online virus scan from the below link: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    NOTE: Make sure you select the correct version of the operating system before downloading the scanner)

    No, because you are infected with spyware. In fact, the spyware is the one sending the message.

    Download, install and run spyware/anti-malware removers.

    System restore won't help.

    No, I'm afraid the MS Safety Scanner is incapable of removing this affliction.

    Have you ever seen this affliction before and successfully removed it with the MS Safety Scanner?

    Get your system infected on purpose and see if the MS Safety Scanner will remove it and report your results.
