I have now had one of my new (6mo+) WinXP machines do something very
strange and scary (well to me anyway). Yes, I am freaked out ATM!
Late last night I went to this machine to flush and shutdown the Dnetc
application "rc5-72."
I did this, no problem. Then I chose to update both my MalwareByt
Dnetc goes back... Way back. Its just a background task that crunches numbers

I am running Vista 64 Home Premium. I have UAC disabled and I have
given myself Administrative privileges. Unfortunately, that isn't
enough for everything, such as loading regedit which must be done by
Administrator. I there a way for me to become
Administrator within my user session so I don'
Sounds like windows update got you.

Duncan,
Have you looked here:

Anything look familiar?
There's also a possibility WGA hit you with a false positive.
Does M$ reimburse you for your troubleshooting time? Didn't think so.

UAC though. I wonder if turning UAC off is what is causing you issues?
When I run regedit (from the search thing on the start menu), I do get a UAC
pop-up. I click on continue and all is well.
