This problem was caused by windows update KB 971033 installed in 2014.

It installs 4 files in c:\windows\system32\wat

npWatWeb.dll
WatAdminSvc.exe
WatUX.exe
WatWeb.dll

It adds 2 validation tasks to task schedular.

If the system date/time is changed to 2004 or something like that it causes a bug where these validation tasks start running one day before the date/time is re-synched to now.

One of these validation tasks will run approx each 6 hours which causes this annoying nag screen to pop-up.

This problem/bug can be solved by uninstalled windows update KB 971033

This is further evidence windows updates can cause system problems: Bug ? Or sabotage ? I will let you decide on that.

Bye,
  Skybuck.
