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.

It says click the bubble.Then it says pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. I m Oz, thegreat and terrible. Then it stops talking and I can't find it, and I just goon with my day.

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

I'm wondering, what Wizard? What would it download and/ orinstall if I were to click on it? is this vital, or at least harmless? Ican'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 amI missing?Needless to say, none of this worked, and the bubble episode, not my firstand 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.Original Message ----- From: "Parham Doustdar" <parham90@xxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 3:24 AM Subject: Re: information bubbles and jaws?I haven't heard anything about it, although it would be cool to have sucha thing. --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com----- Original Message ----- From: "CrisMunoz54" <crismunoz54@xxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 9:03 AM Subject: information bubbles and jaws?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 speakthese 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 filesand 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.
