Dude,
you are infected with a spyware. The message you saw was not from Windows itself, but from that spyware. Use Spybot Search-n-Destro, Ad-Aware or Microsoft Antispyware to remove it. It can also be the work of a virus, so dont forget to scan your computer with a good antivirus. You can find some free ones on the net and on Digit CDs and DVDs, like AVG.
