Discover System Updater

[Donald Sessler]

Lately I have found the above in my bottom bar and wonder what it is. If I
reboot the next time it does not show up. Curious.

I've just noticed it for the first time today as well.
It's nowhere in control panel's add/remove programs listing.
Perhaps I'll try searching the registry??
Thanks,

I am using Windows xp media center edition 2005 on a HP Compaq Presario
SR2020NX.
Curious as to what you find.

I am in the exact same situation. Windows XP media center 2005 on Compaq Presario PC and suddenly today for the first time I see DISCover System Updater on the bottom bar too. Would like to know what anyone finds out

Still have it from time to time but as I originally reported I can not find
anything about it. The mysteries of computing..

I, too, booted this morning and found the strange file located at the bottom of the screen in the minimized program area. It will not maximize or close. This is the only place I found any info regarding this matter. Found it by Googling. So I registered at this site to post.
I have an XP Media Center Edition 2005 by HP Pavillion, series a1310n. I'll try to reboot to get rid of it. Thanks, guys. I'll be checking back for more information if anyone has some.

It seems to have something to do with the 'My Games' program on my Compaq. When I list All Programs, I see an entry (near the most recent) called DISCover and that expands out to My Games and Update My Games. I chatted with HP Support about it and they didnt seem to know much. They did however suggest removing DISCover.exe from startup in MSConfig and when I did that, My Games started up on reboot of the system.
