Clicking on the notification bubble will open Windows Security Center that showing signature database for virus protection and/or spyware and other malware protection is out-of-date.

You can also goto Setup, then to the advanced setup tree.
There goto the UPDATE section, where you see a button, “clear update cache”
then click update virus signature database.
