Some dangerous viruses detected in your system. Microsoft Windows XP files corrupted. This may lead to the destruction of important files in C:\WINDOWS. Download protection software now!

I searched it up on google as IE Antivirus but when I tried to remove it manually, none of the files were there in the first place.
