Sounds like some sort of spyware or malware has infected your pc ..

This thread may be of some use: (if it is the spyware that is)

that happens to me, it's when antivirus software is not detected so i guess it's not picking up macfee
click on a red shield with a cross on your toolbar it says not all antivirus software are detected
but you might still have that trojan or got a another one
man, what are you downloading
just kiddin

Sounds like what matteo leet o... said. For this to be the case you need SP2 if i remember right you dont get that warning with SP1.

Its possibly when your onguard AV has detected something & is warning you but deletes it before you can read it. something similar happens to me very occasionally.

But the matteo thing sounds more likely. check your settings in SECURITY CENTRE to see what it says about your AV & firewall
