"Connect to Internet"

Hi,

In the last few days, possibly since the last round of Vista Updates, every
time I boot up I get a OneCare dialogue box that says "OneCare needs to
connect to the Internet", I hit OK and the main OneCare interface comes up
showing that everything is OK.

Not sure, but is OneCare now becoming active BEFORE my network card has
established an Internet connection? I Have ADSL that boots up at the same
time as the PC and is usually online before the PC gets going properly.

Is there any way to stop this pop up? It is getting to be a bit annoying.

Cheers

Re: "Connect to Internet"

I have to say that I've never seen this popup. I know there is no controlling
when OneCare starts and when it wants to check for updates, so if it is checking
before your network connection has been established, I imagine that's the reason
for the annoying popup.
