It sounds like you are infected by malware. Otherwise if you were running an antivirus program & or a antispyware program, "it" would show in a unique window, and, you would recognize your program.

I do hope you wrote down the title or text of the message. It would help to track down the malware.

You can run antivirus utilities (and the other cleanup tools) in Safe mode (and later repeat in Normal mode).
Simply make sure you download tools & updated definitions from a clean pc --- not the suspect machine.

Sysclean would be a good first run for virus check. Just be sure to also run other spyware / malware checks.
Get SYSCLEAN from Trendmicro and run it.

Make sure your system is free of malware.

You are highly urged to follow the steps at
