I am constantly receiving a Windows Security Center warning message after installing WMP 9.0 stating that Windows Firewall detected suspicious netwok activity etc...Do I want to download certified software and protect my computer."
I do not have Windows Fiirewall. I thought that pertained to XP. How can I get rid of this annoying message? I shutdown the messenger service to no avail. I have answered no every time. I would like to stop this annoying message and determine if installing WMP 9.0 for win2k caused this. (I'm pretty sure it did)
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

There's a setting in WMP that says 'connect to the internet' Try unchecking the box for this option.
Sounds like you got popups coming up on your sys. When you get a popup, DONT CLICK yes OR no...just close the window.
Some of those popups will install something onto your PC, no matter which response you click on. (yes or no)

Run antivirus (AVG is free) and spyware programs.
