As I travel around the area, I have noticed on several machines a little yellow shield with a ! point icon down in the Notification area. Like the one here.

With Windows XP, the system tray is called the "Notification Area" and is the area to the far right of the Windows taskbar that includes the Windows clock. Anyway a number of programs place icons in this area of the taskbar for easy access. The Notification Area typically holds icons that indicate network connection status, firewall activity, anti-virus protection, Windows Defender, and more.

Back to the little yellow shield with a ! point icon.
