Spyware turned off? What?

Last night (early this morning) I installed a new patch(?) for Norton...did a reboot....all seemed fine....About an hour ago, I came to my computer to find windows updates needed to be done....did that, rebooted, and started up. After being on for about ten minutes, and little box came up in the bottom right hand corner of my screen and said I'd turned anti-spyware off....

I haven't.

My norton interface is showing as green/secure....I've looked at all the settings I can find, and none of them even mention spyware being available for turning on or off, so what on earth is going on?
