You certainly have. Try starting R with --vanilla and it should go away. If so, see ?Startup and look at the various files it mentions. Do you have a .Rprofile? Have you changed Rprofile.site ... ? The message comes from contrib.url(): most likely you have a call to update.packages() in a startup file. -- Brian D.
