Well I found out source of the problem. It is Avast's Home Network Security scanning. I can duplicate this issue by simply opening the "Scan for Network Threats" and poof! The dialog appears each time I do so. So now I'm trying to find out how to disable HNS. I think adding my router URL to the Exclusions list should do it. I will let you know how that's working after a few days.Thanks for everyone's help on this.
Jeff above has found a solution'The only way I've found to disable the "Protected Item" popup error message is to turn off Home Network Security (under Settings> Tools> HNS). 'But I am unable to find (under Settings> Tools> HNS). ...it does not show on my Avast Page
this irritating 'protected item image'
