New Hardware Found - But there isnt!

[Luke7k]

Hey

I havn't bought any new hardware for my PC or anything for a while now, although when I boot Windows I get a little bubble in the corner of my screen saying "New hardware found - NetworkX" (See screen shot) It also sometimes shows up saying "StyleXPHelper"

I no longer have StyleXP installed, I don't have any programs called NetworkX but it still seems to come up/

I've run Ad-Aware, Spybot and have SpyBlaster running in the background.

Any ideas???

Thanks :D

Seach the registy for any entires of NetworkX and delete them all. Does this NetworkX actaully install? Have a look in device manager and see if its installed as a Network device.

Do it actaully interrupt with anything you do on your computer?

Thanks for the replies,

I tried searching for NetworkX in the registry but I wouldnt let me delete them, which made me think that the files could be in use. :|

Went into Regedit using SafeMode and ta-da! Removed.

If it actually stops it loading Im not sure, but am running Ad-Aware again just encase. ;)

Thanks again. :D
