    I was installing a new external hard drive to my computer when I received a notice that Microsoft AntiSpyware program gave me a list of "allowed Startup Registry Entrys." One of them was Alura Security Center. I never downloaded this program so I'm concerned that it may be spyware itself. I checked Google for the program and the search came up empty. I then plugged www.alura and www.alurasecuritycenter into my browser to see what site had the program but it came up empty. Does anyone know where this program originates from or whether or not it's a spyware program?

    If you never downloaded or heard of it, block it and look in Add/Remove programs for it and if found uninstall it. Personally I've never heard of it.
