Microsoft Security Center warning

A

AJ

Every half hour or so I'm getting a 'Windows Security
Center' message popping up saying: 'Warning: Windows
Firewall detected suspicious network activity on your
computer. Do you want to download certified software?' I'm
also periodically told to briefly wait while a plugin is
being added. So, looks like my computer's picked up some
sort of bug. I cleaned up all my temp files and have run a
virus scan, with no problems detected. I also did a
search and found a file named 'security' (C:\WINNT\system32
\config) which was installed just before I started
experiencing the problems. I tried unsuccessfully to
delete this file, even in safe mode, but keep getting
a 'sharing violation' message. Does anyone have a
suggestion as to how I can eliminate this problem, or is
the 'Windows Security Center' popup legitimate? I created
a hijack log and submitted it to SWI forums, but no one
has responded. Thanks for help.
