New Program Installed??

Once in a while when I leave the internet I will get a message that a "new program" has been installed. Is this normal since I did not install or authorize anything to be installed? How can I find out what was installed? When I look at my program listing I do not see anyting out of the ordinary. I have Spybot S&D and Spyblaster and Norton. Just curious, nothing has happened yet but I would like to know.

stmar,

Windows can be persistent (and illogical) in notifying you of new program often long after they have been installed. To get rid of the prompt right-click the Start button and choose Properties. On the Start Menu tab click Customize and on the dialog that opens on the Advanced tab uncheck "Highlight newly installed programs."
