Weird Error Message in OS X

Ever since I’ve been using Mac OS X I’ve been getting this annoying dialog box when I log in:

I called Apple Tech Support and was told they had no idea (!) what this was. I assume it has something to do with Software Update in System Preferences, but I unchecked the auto-update box the minute I installed the OS (I do it manually).

Can any of you good folks explain why this might be happening? If so, .

UPDATE: A reader suggested I check MacReporter to see if that was misbehaving. I am using it and just reinstalled. Fingers crossed…

FURTHER UPDATE: I sent an e-mail to the folks at Inferiis, which makes MacReporter (a product I like and paid for), asking if this was the culprit. Turns out all I had to do was disable one setting in the Preferences of MacReporter.

Another great Net story: I asked, I was advised, I checked further, I got the answer.
