What kind of message are you getting?

Security issues could be from windows:

You got no antivirus installed.

You got windows firewall turned off.

Other security msgs that come of different software would depend on the software itself.

It can be for product key renewal.

Some infected files on your machine.

Updating your antivirus virus definitions.

Action taken against some files, Quarantined, Deletion or cleaning.

Other than that, you might be talking about visiting a website and installing something and it keeps on showing there ... install this software to clean up registry or the computer from infections. That one is a malware, you can Restore your system to one Restore Point crated before this problem begins. It work sometimes, but sometimes it does not.

You will need an antivirus to remove it or an anti-spyware or anti-malware software to remove it.

Free Spyware removal software is 'Spybot Search & Destroy' and here is the link to download it:

hello mate, I assume that on the taskbar it is showing u red icon with 'X', i face this problem in many computers in the company as it is basically a notice that ur computer is hit by trojan, as an IT officer, the solution for this problem is to download a software called smitfraud from

http://www.afterdawn.com/software/desktop_software/desktop_security/smitfraudfix.cfm

after downloading save it on ur desktop run ur system in safe mode double click Smitfraud, it will open in DOS and press 2 to clean.

I hope this information will be useful for u.

Normally this problem is related to computer security.

Please check you are your antivirus. Is it updated recently? Because all anti virus only will give you complete protection if it is updated regularly. The default for this update is one week, after one week if still not update it will give you that security problem in the taskbar.

If you are using offline computer or very rarely online to the internet you can check the setting on the antivirus you are using. Please check in the update menu and check on teh option.

Thanks, I hope it will helpful for you.

I think the icon is an alert from your antivirus software. Open the Antivirus console and check first.
