What program is requesting to allow annonymous access?

MS Antisypware does a scan on my computer every night and
never finds anything. Whenever I reboot, however, it
tells me that a request has been made to allow annonymous
access and asks if I want to allow this. I can click on
the link to learn more and read a good description of
what this setting is and what the implications are of
allowing annonymous access, but Antispyware doesn't tell
me WHAT PROGRAM is requesting this change. That's a key
piece of information one want's, either to make the right
decision about blocking or to go reconfigure (or even
uninstall) the offending program.

On the whole, MS Antisypware is a great program, but this
is a glaring oversight. I hope you fix this before the
release, or at the least fix it in version 1.1.
 
Scott--can you tell us exactly which version of Windows you have, and,
ideally, what version it was upgraded from if that is true?

And can you give a more precise wording of the message--I know it is
probably hard to capture, but I'm not clear whether this is Microsoft
Antispyware asking about setting the RestrictAnonymous setting on your
machine, or some form of network access that is happening. Clearly this
message is confusing, so I'd like to be sure just what it is about in order
to see how it needs to be changed.
