You are getting this message because normal.dot file is a virus for that you only need to change the file name.

To search and rename normal.dot file use the following steps:-
1. Double-click on My Computer.
2. Type normal.dot in search box and enter on search.
3. You will get lots of Files over there now you need to rename the files.
4. Right-click on the file which you need to rename and select on Rename.
5. Rename the files to abnormal.dot, normal1.dot, or anything you like. Keep in mind that it should not be normal.dot
