This is part of Computrace, a security feature that companies and institutions can use to remotely disable systems until the user verifies legitimate use.
If this is from your employer or school, contact your IT department for instructions.
If you bought this computer used, contact the seller to disable Computrace or refund your money. If they cannot disable it, then either whoever sold it to your seller may have forgotten to disable the feature (e.g. if a company was legitimately selling old systems it no longer needs) or it could be stolen.
