Detected New Hardware?

I tunr on my computer moments ago and on the desktop, a pop-up saying "New Hardware Found" and asking to look on the Internet to find the drivers, well I haven't put on any new hardware I haven't unplugged anything. Is there a virus or something that causes this or a bad driver wanting to be replaced?

Well, it might be virus which corrupted your drivers. At first try to check your PC for viruss. Then try to find what hardware was found, and if it out of order. With more probability it's a virus.

My french isn't very good and the Google translation really didn't help much.
But there's no getting past the fact that it looks like trouble.
Time to go through your AV program's data base (Your av is up to date, right?) and use Housecall which is here : http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
