I've seen that happen too, with the plain old Windows wireless client. WPA2 in my instance, as well. I never did figure out what the problem was but I stopped using WIFI a year ago and just wired my house with CAT5e. At the time it was a Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT and an Intel integrated wlan card in a ThinkPad T60.

It won't even pop up that message with a Wide Open wireless connection (No password needed). Could it be the security center letting you know that the firewall is off, windows update is off, or that virus defs are old? If not that, I suspect it's your AV telling you something, or spyware. ________________________________________ From: Murray Freeman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 1:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SECURING WIFI ROUTER I hope this is on topic. I have a Dell 700m laptop and a Netgear rangemax mimo "G" router. I'm using WPA2, but from time to time, a baloon pops up from the icon in the systray stating that my connection is unsecure. If I right click and select "view wireless networks" it indicates that my network is in fact secured with WPA2. Any ideas why I get the baloon, and is there another way to insure that I am WPA2 secured in fact? I've noticed this for months now.
