    I turned on my laptop this morning and got this message on the screen, any idea what it might be?

    Sounds like a variant of a trojan - make sure you are not connected to the internet until you get it sorted..

    I've done a Google search and didn't throw up much. Ran spybot and avast pro and found nothing.

    Scan the system with Malwarebytes anti malware (update it first), Super Antispyware (also update) and then run a Eset online scanner scan here to clean up.
