It continually pops up through out the day while the PC is on, though...is
that normal as well?
No, that is not normal. I would suspect malware somewhere on the computer.
It is time for you to download David Lippman's Multi_Av package.

The PC stays on around 16 hours a day....I'd say the message pops up once
every hour or so...it's hard to say b/c it dissapears after a few seconds,
whether you click on it or not.

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.
