Strange thing is that I run Norton Internet Security 2009. I have never had either Avira or Kaspersky, on any machine, ever, since I started in computers some 30 years ago. I've searched the registry for anything on both names but nothing shows.

If anyone else has Belarc advisor, please run it when you get the odd few minutes free, and see what it reports.


Belarc Advisor has always had a few mis-readings of what it reports. A lot of the programs you will have installed that it shows in it's report will have incorrect version numbers and the likes. It is useful to a point, but has correct identification failings. It still needs a lot of work IMO.

Some other useful similar apps:

SIW
HWINFO(32)
PC Wizard 2008

Free Software List for Vista

Thanks for that Airbot. I'll look into what it is reporting about other software installed tomorrow night and report back on what I find.
