Hi, I'm running Win XP SP 2.

I get a pop up message in my system tray that states my system may be
vulnerable and that my firewall is turned off, click here to turn on, when
clicked on it takes me to the security center within XP.
It always says that during startup because that is the truth. It always
send you to the security center. Later on, the firewall engages and all is
well.
