I'm new to XP and just getting familiar with it. Every time I boot up, I get a nag screen directing me to a Java web site.

Any idea why this pops up and clues as to how to get rid of it?

Is it something I need to take action on?

Thanks.

And that Java web site would be? Is it a copy of IE that appears with the
nag or web site, or is it a regular application window?

Tried using msconfig.exe to disable startup programs, then enable them one a
time, reboot, and see when the problem reappears?

Tried run anti-spyware, like Ad-Aware and Spybot, to see if you got your
computer infected?

Do you have anti-virus software? Have you ran a full virus scan using a
recently updated copy of your anti-virus software?

Does the popup appear after you start IE? Does it appear when IE is not
loaded? Does the popup window say "Windows Messenger" in its title bar?
