The security updates are recommended. It's a scary internet. What happened to you is that the parent.lock file, which locks the profile in use did not get deleted when you closed SeaMonkey. If it happens again, you can avoid the restart by navigating to your profile folder, and deleting the file manually. To avoid the issue in most cases, close SeaMonkey by choosing Using the file menu, rather then simply closing all the windows.
