Second Submission - AntiSpyware Finds Windows Update ActiveX as "Unidentified"

Microsoft Anti-Spyware quickly announces the following as an unidentified
ActiveX which Internet Explorer is trying to install at logon - and I as
quickly blocked it as an "UNKNOWN"

Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store
Database\Distribution Units\{9F1C11AA-197B-4942-BA54-47A8489BB47F}

My research on this leads to identification of this KEY with
"C:\windows\system\iuctrl.dll" which in turn relates to connection to
http://v4.windowsupdate.com

Since I am using WindowsXP updated to SP2 which now looks to
http://v5.windowsupdate.com, I am puzzled about this behavior of Internet
Explorer trying to load from the old windows update location AND Microsoft
Anti-Spyware identifying it as "UNKNOWN".

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi CT
You should post on the Microsoft Antispyware newsgroup for this sort of
issue:
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?ICP=spyware&sLCID=us

These newsgroups are specifically for issues with this tool. As it is in
Beta the more information you can provide to them now the better the final
release should be.

You could set your newsreader to use msnews.microsoft.com directly
for these newsgroups. As was answered already, and to the earlier
posting, one should use the Antispyware beta newsgroups for all
matters with that beta.
