Is it possible, that you have used a 60-day-evaluation copy of this incredibly expensive office suite? I cannot really figure out, what's happening, but my first notebook came with an activated eval copy of MS2OO3.

Do you want to say, that every time you log into your system (XP/VISTA???), Front Page starts? Check your autostart entries! If you don't know how to do this, come back, we'll help

Yes, it is called WGA notification, come with Windoze and usually people make a great effort to get rid of it. If you haven't changed your installation, it is still active and performs the validation on a daily basis. (On XP, Vista is not my turf...)
For the time being, check this page on the main site

As Chris said, you might very well discover, you can do without it...
