You probably have an MSN account and it's checking the mail account attached
to your MSN account. Most likely a hotmail address.

I had this same problem. Someone here (sorry I don't remember who)
suggested TweakUI. You can either turn off the notice or reset it.
Worked for me,

Hey whats up
Did you ever have a friend or a relative that signed in to their passport or
Windows Messenger that didn't sign out on your computer? It happened to me
and finally figured out it was my cousin who checked her passport,email etc.
and remined her to sign out the next time she's on there. Hope this solves
your problem.
