    I have this automatic update and i'm not sure if its legit. i've had some trouble with spyware like spysheriff and auto:blank lately and thought I had gotten rid of them with the tips on this site. Then this pops up. I havn't let it install anything. I did a hijackthis run and put it through the autoanalyzers but they didn't find anything wrong. It's a yellow shield looking thing in my task bar and says:

    windows found one update, then there are express and custom install options.

    The little yellow shield is the Automatic Updates Systray icon.

    I am awaiting for you to post your logs in the other thread you started yesterday.
