I've seen the same message as well with an HP laptop going to a D-Link WIFI 
using WPA.  The message seems to indicate that you are connected to unsecured 
network, but I've always been connected to my secured network when I've checked.

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.

Mmm... this doesn't sound like a popup that I am familiar with Windows being 
capable of generating.  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.

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.
