When I turn on my computer I get this message. Then it says do I want to continue? If I say no the question repeats itself. and then disappears when I answer no again. I have windows xp and have at&t DSL. I believe the computer is set up to accept automatic updates. I use the avg free edition for virus, lavasoft and spybot for adware. When I go to the microsoft help page there is no reference to this type of warning. Any ideas as to what is going on?

The message seems to pop up when my AIM buddy list seems to go up. Its one of the things that start up with the computer. I ran spybot and lava adware and the only thing it found was cookies which I deleted.

It is likely an application you have installed trying to startup automatically that is causing it. Check your startup processes in spybot or run highjack this! to get a list of applications starting up when the computer boots. Send me the results of highjackthis and I will see if I can pinpoint it.
