Is that the exact text of the error message? Because if it really is, you
probably have malware because no legitimate error message would be written
in "chat speak" with spelling errors.

Be sure the computer is clean:

If the computer is virus/malware-free, then do clean-boot troubleshooting to
determine what program/process is starting with Windows and causing the
problem.
