No reply necessary; just a heads-up on a couple of odd items.

Under the System Explorers tool:
Microsoft Genuine Advantage Validation shows as Unknown
Microsoft Reader Activation Client Control shows as Unkown
Microsoft Windows Update Control shows as Unknown
Microsoft.AntiSpyware.ShellExecuteHook1 shows as Unkown

One would think that Microsoft would know its own products.

Also, for some strange reason, the many of the MSN Games sites are having
problems loading, but I'm not getting any messages from the AntiSpyware app.
Games work just fine if I shut down AntiSpyware.

Cheers.

Update to the latest signatures (5680), it seems the auto update feature
doesn't work. The AntiSpyware and MS Genuine Advantage are already fixed in
that update. The others, you are correct. There are also other MS ActiveX
that are unknown still:

Microsoft PlayBoard Control
{00000160-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} (This is an MS codec for Windows
Media Player)
{3334504D-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} (This is an MS codec for Windows
Media Player)
Microsoft Windows Update Manager for NT
