I keep getting notices like this:

Generally, that means the desktop interface (your windows, menus, mouse
and keyboard) can be remotely controlled/accessed from another computer.
So, using your Linux computer, you could act as if you were using your
Windows computer, or vice versa.
If you don't need that functionality, then deny it, and go through
reconfiguring your Windows machine to stop offering to share its
desktop. Really, it shouldn't be making that attempt unless you
initiate it. If it's doing it automatically, I wonder if you have a
compromised Windows box.
A compromised WINDOWS machine?....is that even POSSIBLE!?...LOL!
