And if it is, how exactly do I get rid of that message?
Yikes, I could tell you exactly on Linux or Mac but I haven't used Windows in some time. If I recall, you would just edit the shortcut you use to run QT by appending the salvagewallet option. Something like: \DarkCoin-Qt.exe -salvagewallet
This is correct. Make a shortcut and edit the target to have -salvagewallet at the end.

Also make sure to delete everything but wallet.dat and re download before trying. That method has worked for others in the past.
