There's definitely no malware on my computer. I run AVG Pro complete scan every day and Super Anti Spyware once a week. I also periodically run Windows Malware Removal Tool. I suspect that The firewall warning message pops up because Windows Firewall has not fully loaded before Security Center has had a chance to verify it.

That sounds like you have a virus or some spyware.
Good luck!

Gerald,

I keep getting a certain message when I goot up. It says click the bubble.
Then it says pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. I m Oz, the
great and terrible. Then it stops talking and I can't find it, and I just go
on with my day. Who knows.

Maybe it was the Wizard of OZ?  I also get these strange bubble messages
when I boot up my computer. Most of the time, I get a message like, "Your
computer may be at risk.  No firewall is turned on", which disappears
immediately before I can take any action. Of course, my Windows Firewall is
always turned on, so this message is probably nothing more than a bogus
bubble issued by the gremlins lurking inside my tower, designed for my
befuddlement. Unless you start seeing some real bubbles pouring out of your
computer like on the set of the Lawrence Welk show, you probably have
nothing to worry about.

Me, too. this very morning, when I had just booted up  and launched
Outlook
Express to check my email, I heard Jaws say "to start the Wizard, click on
this bubble." I'm wondering, what Wizard? What would it download and/ or
install if I were to click on it? is this vital, or at least harmless? I
can't find the bubble. Could I find it if I switched to the Jaws cursor?
Maybe if I press Windows M and go again to the Desktop I'll find it there, still showing? Maybe it's added itself as an icon to my system tray, just waiting for me to click on it? Like a Windows update notification? What am
I
missing?

Needless to say, none of this worked, and the bubble episode, not my first
and surely not my last experience of this sort, was gone forever. I'm
still
wondering what that was all about, and if there's some way, if only I
knew,
how to review and find what it is that wants to be downloaded? But I'm
stymied.

I haven't heard anything about it, although it would be cool to have such
a
thing.

Hello list,

Is there a jaws command to repeat the information bubbles that windows
from
time to time announces? I ask because, sometimes, jaws will randomly
speak
these bubbles and either the message gets cut off by a key stroke or jaws beginning to read some other information. I looked in the jaws help files
and really didn't come across anything. I know you can disable these
bubbles, but I'd prefer not to. I just want to be able to have jaws
repeat
them should I have the need to hear them again.

Thanks...
