    That's the "gift" that you get for clicking on the link.

    You've downloaded a virus and/or some other kind of malware.

    First, update your antivirus software. Then run a full scan. It may be able to isolate and neutralize the offending program.

    If it can't, a visit to MyBleepingComputer.com may help. They saved me, years ago.
