Is that the exact text that appears? Does it appear in a dialog? What things are you trying to run when you get the message?

Have a read of this.

It could potentially be a trojan that has messed with these files so worth running a virus check just to make sure it isn't resident.

It could be that something (trojan or valid app) is, or has, written to one of the config files specified in the knowledge base article above.
