  According to the report that you have posted, you should not see a non-genuine problem - the report is clean.

  If you are indeed to see a non-genuine notification, then is that from time to time, or is this all the time?

  If it is present only from time to time, you have a race condition - and those can be a nightmare to solve, because they disappear as soon as you look at :) They are often caused by antivirus programs in conflict with other programs running

  If it is there all the time, then try the following.

• All of my Windows Vista programs appear under the same icon.

  Problem with Vista programs: all of my Windows Vista programs make their appearance as the same icon.  How can I fix it and what happened?

  Rebuild the cache icon as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.  That should take care of the problem.  I don't know why it happened - but I've seen it before, and we never really determined the cause then either.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
