Hello Eugene,

The error indicates your system is affected by some virus, malware.

First thing you should do is download and run an efficient anti-malware.

I would recommend downloading malware bytes and thereafter scan your system with it. It should help.

You may also try downloading and using Norman Malware Cleaner.

Both these ant-malware scanners use advance algorithms and they can be installed and run on infected PCs.

In case if you need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Regards,
