Why do I kept on getting the pop-up message from run?

[Guest]

Hi! How are you? I'm doing good except I'm having trouble understanding what's wrong with my laptop. It kept on saying that I have to check my application or "c:\windows\system32\2ndsrch.dll." What is c:\windows\system32\2ndsrch.dll? In order to get my application back how would I do that or shut the popup message because it's getting annoying. Please help me because I'm not really good at fixing laptops or computers. Email me if you have any idea how to fix it. Thanks.

It is likely you have some spyware that should be removed.

You have adware:

You can use a System Restore point previous to when this problem
arose.

Scan for malware using ad-aware and spybot.
Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.
