UAC - Program Name: User Account Control

This is an odd one... hoping you can help

I was not doing anything (was using my work PC, not this pc) and all of a sudden I get the UAC message to allow a program to make changes. The program name was "User Account Control Program", from Unknown publisher and then had a long Reg Key looking thing. I tried to get a screenshot but it didnt work.

Well I hit no.. But has anyone seen this? seems fishy to me

Thanks!

It sounds like a prank. Did you run a scan with MBAM ?

its running now... I know it wasnt a fake popup as far as a UAC because it locked out the rest of the screen... just wondering the legitimacy I will let you know if anything pops up on MBAM

ok. MBAM found a few naughty Reg values for an IE toolbar (odd, I dont use IE) going to do a full scan now just to make sure

I rarely use IE. But many malwares will hook into it assuming it will come up eventually. I run WinPatrol. It warns if something tries to add an IE Browser Helper Object. Those can be nasty.
