The message should have mentioned the name of the vendor the extension is from. But in short, all third party extensions are in the following location, along with ten default extensions installed with the OS.
/Library/Extensions
Of those you find in this folder, the following are installed by the OS. Any others would have been added by third party software you installed.
ACS6x.kext
ArcMSR.kext
ATTOCelerityFC8.kext
ATTOExpressSASHBA2.kext
ATTOExpressSASRAID2.kext
CalDigitHDProDrv.kext
HighPointIOP.kext
HighPointRR.kext
PromiseSTEX.kext
SoftRAID.kext
To navigate to /Library/Extensions copy and paste it in the Finder's Go menu > Go To Folder... field.

... then click the Go button.
Post the names of anything in addition to the above, so that someone may help you to identify the apps that use them.
