Default SP2 'wireless' pop-up??

Can you possibly help regarding the pop-up "connecting
to wireless, etc...." which we never got prior to
installing SP2? (We also see a little red icon in lower
right of 'status bar' that we believe might be related to
this "wireless' pop-up. We don't have wireless or use
wireless, we use dial up modem. Can you tell us how to get
rid of this "wireless" pop-up that we keep getting each
time we turn on our notebook? We are new at this (novice
seniors) and hope you can explain so we can understand.
Thank you very much.

Are you sure you don't have a built-in wireless card on your notebook?

Turn off the built in wireless card by going into your CMOS setup and
disabling it. Your notebook manual should tell you how.
Additionally, use Control Panel Connections and disable the wireless
connection. SP2 includes the newer Zero Wireless connection wizard.
If it detects a wireless card or network, the popup and icon will
appear.
