Microsoft Security Center Warning?

Well, since you never posted the entire contents of the actual message or a
link to the specific site to which you were directed it's hard to determine
from the sparse amount of information you did post precisely what this is.
We had to work with your assumptions about what this was and the source.

Based on the information given, "WE don't know how to get rid of it."

Good luck at http://www.theeldergeek.com/security_center.htm where I note
far more information about the "popup" message, the entire contents and it's
location, just no reference to the site to which you were directed. This
message, as shown at the above link is directly related to the Security
center and I'm unaware of anything else that might trigger it. Are you sure
SP2 isn't installed?

If you suspect a hotfix, you might try removing the hotfix through
Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. You can find information about
specific hotfixes at Windows Update. Failing that, if this is a relatively
recent issue, you might try using System Restore to take your system back to
a time prior to when this began. Start\All Programs\Accessories\System
Tools\System Restore.

So even though this is part of Microsoft Security more than
likely from SP2 and I don't have it installed, No ONE knows
how to get rid of it..

Hi

The message in the picture you posted does not come from anything
originating from Microsoft.

It is a popup window from some malware (most likely installed through
your Web browser).


A couple of Web pages describing the same message as you got:

http://www.freepgs.com/therock247uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=61

Trojan.W32/AGent.LL (in Spanish)
http://alerta-antivirus.red.es/virus/detalle_virus.html?cod=4758


See if any of the tools listed at the Web pages below removes it:

Thank you very much, Torgeir. I should have checked on the possibility this
message might be the result of some malware if SP2 was not installed on the
system.
 
Thank You All for your efforts with this.
