First off, Windows itself will never detect a spyware infection. It's the spyware itself that is sending you the message. I have come across this many times at work and it is a pain to get rid of. You can try to remove it yourself using the source below. Otherwise you have to have it removed by a pro.

You can go to avast.com and download their computer protection program for free. Then run a scan with it. It will find the problem, and will ask what you want to do about it. I had Norton for a long time. After I switched to avast, it found a Trojan that Norton had not found.

If your computer is installed w/ spyware/virus scanning and eradicating software, run it. If not, you can buy it either on or offline, there are several on the market w/ Norton's being the best known. www.symantec.com is the official site.

It's your malware checker telling you that you have spyware on your computer. It's just telling you that you should run your anti-spyware program to get rid of whatever's on your computer.

does this warning come accompanied by an obnoxious multi colored flashing wheel-chair in the system taskbar (next to your clock)?
