One of the girls at work has started getting this message everytime she starts
up her MacBook and asked what should she do about it.

The message is

"An item in the startup Items Folder (Library/StartupItems/ hexSleeperX.app) does not have the proper security setting. Closing this item may cause problems. If you trust this item and want to fix the security settings, click Fix.
To always prevent this item from being used, click Disable.
To stop using this item and show this message again, click Decide Later.
Decide later Disable Fix"

Suggestions? Advice? I've never seen it before.

When Apple went to Mac OSX 10.4, they changed the way that startup items worked - ie something that would run when the machine boots. This message comes up the first time the machine is rebooted after the install and you have a startup item configured for pre-10.4.

The question is: did you install this SleeperX app, and do you trust it? If so, then click Fix, and this message will go away.

Paul.
