Is it a message from Windows or Norton?

Windows security center will do this if it still thinks that Norton is
on your computer and not functioning correctly or shut off... BTW, did
you search for hidden folders in your quest to remove Norton by the
roots? Documents&setings/application data is one place that I'm pretty
sure Norton/Symantec maintains folders... sometimes it the important
stuff, that why the folder is hidden. Look in 'All Users'.

It couldn't hurt to check the firewall settings for any allowed Norton
or Symantec product and delete them from the allowed list. Windows
might be seeing an entry for an open port that isn't in use and
through whatever means figure out that it is open due to the norton
install/un-install.

I'm starting to run out of options.

it's very transient. If I click on it, as it tells me to do, I go to
the Windows security center.

XP, yes I'm the administrator (but not, it seems, the decider).
