Default Help! Why does my alarm go off when I try to start my car

I just purchased a used 99 accord ex and I am having trouble with the alarm going off occasionally when I start the car. I open the door with keyless entry and even when I start the car in less than 30 seconds the alarm sometimes sounds. Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening and how I can avoid it?

thanks

Matt
