I have just reformatted my computer, reinstalled everything, etc. Before I started, I had noticed that every time I went into the Device Manager, some little program was trying to connect me to the Internet. I feared that it was some sort of Trojan Horse or something. Now, after reinstallation, I have just completed download of all the essential updates on Windows Update. But this time, I also installed Norton Personal Firewall first, in order to get a better idea about what is going on. It appears to be a program put there by Microsoft (during update?). The executable is called Sucatreg.exe. and it leads to the address crl.microsoft.com, which appears to be a part of the Microsoft Web site. Can anyone shed any light on what this program does? Why does it attempt to connect to the Internet every time I start Device Manager? It says something about Catalogue registration, or something like that. Please help.
