It's not from Microsoft, and it's malware. Don't run anything.

I've never come across a message like that from Microsoft. It's got to be some third party nonsense.
Btw, if it's an old pc that hasn't been maintained for a while I would download Ccleaner to tidy up registry and then use windows built-in Defragmentation tool to tidy up hard drive (Start > Accessories > System Tools)

Think perhaps Mackman is right.

Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:

Link

After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:

• Double click DDS to run it.
• When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:

1. DDS.txt
2. Attach.txt

Save both reports to your desktop.

Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)
