Answer #1
Did u have any program named system check..
ya its a false alert..
ur system got affected by a rogue anti-spyware..
System Check will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows. Once started, it will display numerous error messages when you attempt to launch programs or delete files. System Check will then prompt you to scan your computer, which will then find a variety of errors that it states it cannot fix until you purchase the program. It will then prompt you to repair your PC, where it will pretend to fix fake problems on your computer and state that it was unable to repair some of them in order to make you feel there is a problem with your computer.these alerts are only designed to scare you into purchasing the program.
Use a good anti virus to clean..

Run your a/v (with updated definitions) and malwarebytes in safe mode and do a full scan (tap F8 on boot to get into safe mode)
