I've seen your first example myself. These should be taken care of over
time, I think. This product is based on purchased technology from a third
party, Giant Software. It doesn't surprise me that a small company doesn't
have all of these details right. Microsoft has been working with the
product for a relatively short time, and I'm sure their priorities are with
some of the more substantive issues.

Have a similar one, except the one I have appears to be an artifact from the
Microsoft Windows Update prior to SP2. In my case, I cannot find anything in
registry nor does it appear to impact proper operation of the system (I get
my updates thru v5.windosupdate now).

So I have decided to "ignore it" (of course hoping it will get fixed due to
minor annoyance).
