Thanks very much for your help Matthew. I shall do the business when I have a moment. This appears to be an isolated update. Is it because it's hardware related?

It did not appear when I rebooted the machine. I clicked to update the UEFI dbx the first time I saw the message a few days ago and was waiting for a message or something to show progress or whatever but nothing came. I did notice that my processor was running at full belt after running the command 'top'. I had my browser open so closed it. The only other processes running that I had initiated were to do with desktop environment - Compiz and Emerald. All other processes were system ones as far as I could make out. One oddity in all this was that a partial browser window was stuck on the desktop. I killed this window with 'xkill'. The computer sat there humming away at what sounded like full speed. I wished I had invoked Conky! So, as it stands I get this message about updating UEFI dbx and nothing appears to happen. What should I do? How do I stop the message from appearing if nothing happens when I click the message to supposedly start an update? Thanks. Oh, looking for this in existing bugs proves fruitless. I can't believe no-one else has not reported this yet. It's in various posts on the Internet.
