I could be way off here, but the message sounds like the one you get from the "Windows Security Center" in Windows XP.
If you have Windows XP, try this: Click on Start - Then click on Control Panel. Find the icon for "Security Center" and double click on it.
You should see a section under Firewall. If it is OFF, then this could be where this message is coming from. If it is indeed OFF, then you need to know if you have some other firewall installed on your pc, because you don't really want to hang out on the internet without one. If you are certain you have a different "firewall" installed, you can click on the button named "recommendations" under the firewall section. In there, there is a check box that says "I have a firewall program that I will monitor myself" (or something like that). Clicking this will stop the messages from popping up. If you DONT have another firewall installed, click on the recommendations button and choose the option to activate your Windows firewall. This too will stop the messages.
Hope that helps. Not sure if this is really what is going on, but if you're on Windows XP.. it's definitely something to check.
Good luck!

try turning the whole entire thing off, wait a few seconds & turn it on again. i get those too, but i don't get firewall ones i get something else. if not, try right clicking on the icon on the task bar & go to options & check to see if anything funny isn't checked er you can juss turn off the pop ups.
-hope that helped!♥
