Thanks Jocelyn - I had a feeling it would be related to SP3 "upgrade".

I have now removed Spamnet which would have cost me $39 per annum to get the
SP3 compatible version (I had the original beta version installed, with was
free) so have lost a spam filter but don't have the irritating security
message.

Microsoft certainly goes out of its way to annoy its customers, doesn't it.
