Widget always shows At Risk or Needs Attention on boot up

I have XP SP3 with Comodo v 7.0.317799.4142, database Version 19678.
When I boot up, the widget nearly always shows At Risk or Needs Attention. I know I can deal with this by clicking on Fix it, but this problem never used to happen. The system always booted up with Secure in the widget.
I have also found that by doing nothing, the problem corrects its self in about 10 minutes.
Is this nowadays normal behaviour? Am I protected during this time?
If not, perhaps I need to change some settings?
If so, could someone please advise?

What is wrong according to the message?

#3

Sorry if I did not explain clearly.
A few months ago, when the system booted up, the widget always showed Secure.
Recently, on boot up, the widget almost always shows At Risk or Needs Attention.

I was asking whether this is normal behaviour or not.

I expect it to be Secure when it boots up rather than 10 minutes later.

When you open the main screen can you see what is being reported being the problem?

#5

The message reads as follows:
The virus signature database is NOT up-to-date.

#6

It should not happen if you use your computer every day.

The 10 minute delay would be approximately the time it takes to update the virus database.

#7

It hasn’t happened in the last 2 bootups! I do use the computer every day.
It looks like it is normal behaviour.
Anyway, I am happy now and thanks for your support.
