That is malware giving you that message. If you click on it, it will take you to some link to purchase some other virus protection software...that is the kicker.
Porn surfing will do that (not saying you are though)...
You have to find the process that is triggering the message, then delete in (in DOS safe mode). You can't delete the file in Windows, and if you try to kill the process, it will automatically restart.
The sporatic shutdowns are another story...you have an overheating condition...
