>> "Critical System Error!" alert on system tray.

Problem:

I am getting a popup message Virus Alert "Critical System Errors!" on my system tray. There is a flashing icon, yellow Exclamatory mark and a red prohibition sign. On click that icon its shows message window which contains "System detected virus activities. They cause critical system failure. Please, use Antispyware software to clean and protect your system from parasite programs. Click this baloon to get all available software". I have tried to uninstall miscellaneous software related to this but I didn't find anything there. Please let me know how to get rid of it.
