why is explorer nagging me about being offline. ? I know I'm offline.

why is explorer nagging me about being offline. ? I know I'm offline.
it's a windows nag screen. task manager says it's windows explorer generating
the message.
This is a 1st in 10 years and 3 different win OS, 98, XP, and now Vista HP.
I just want the window to go away, but have no idea what's causing it.

I thought it might be updates, I turned updates off, rebooted, and the nag came
back with no updates in the tray.

I checked task scheduler for unusual stuff. found 2 entries under
compatibility. removed 1 disabled the other..

How do I get rid of this nag ??

BOLO virtumondo.
No idea how or where it came from, but it's populated every new message at
spybot S&D. Almost like it's taken on worm characteristics vs trojan. Butthen
no reason, being a trojan, it couldn't also send copies to the web and other
machines.
