Security settings resetting themselves

All:

Over the last few days, it seems that my security settings are going wonky. I have a security pattern enabled. Every so frequently over the last 6 days, the security pattern becomes disabled. I did not actively reset the pattern.

I have power cycled as well as battery pulled to try to alleviate the problem. Neither has worked.

I did notice that visiting a website on the thunderbolt that I frequently interact with, I got an error. Tried the site again and got the same error. Tried the site of the computer and was able to access the site.

I have begun to think that this is somehow tied to access of the internet.

Additionally, for security settings, I have changed to PIN and pattern after the apparent resets of the security.

Please help, the security pattern helps me from mistakenly dialing numbers from my front pocket.
