Hi Saphire

Are you actually running a new installation of Windows Vista on a new or updated computer or XP on any computer, if you are running Vista then this is just Windows dialling home in an attempt to download the latest Bill Gates spy rubbish, if the thing pops up again, right click on it it and click stop (disable) download, this is a known event with windows downloads. One sure fire way to stop it is to disable windows update, you dont need it anyway, you can download the updates from various places without going anywhere near Microsoft. If you are using XP then I suggest you do the same as for Vista. I'm sure it's not a serious threat or you would see more action from your protection software. Webroot SpySweeper is extremely good at what it does and is well respected throughout the trade, it detects most attempts at changing the web addresses it has not been authorised to change, it also stops any new startup programs that have not been authorised. You need to make sure you run and update it regularly.
