Hi shakran, It's from Msoft and very annoying. It's on a machine I just set up with XP Pro. Upgrade from W98se.
He had Zonealarm which has/had a problem with XP so for an hour it did not have a firewall. It was not online all of that time, just long enough to get this popup problem? I installed Tiny firewall which is free.

Thanks Lebell, I now have a better idea what the message service is for.
This machine is not on a local network. It is connected to a USB adsl modem.
