AV finding after updates + IE8 upgrade

My OS is Vista Home Premium and since installing recent MS updates and
upgrading to IE8 I find that my AV program (McAfee) keeps finding a
'potentially' unwanted program, namely Generic PUP.x!hv.I

This is classified as a new finding (late April) with Risk Home & Corporate
marked as N/A. Link for McAfee description of same is
http://home.mcafee.com/VirusInfo/Vir...spx?key=155618 In any case
McAfee can not remove it but I do have the option to Trust the same.

Also if I paste the whole Generic PUP string into the search bar on other AV
sites nothing is found. Looking at the file given, namely
C:\Windows\System32\NetsyncAgent\CTDRM.dll I wonder if it is safe and maybe
something to do with Digital Rights Management which 'arrived' with IE8
upgrade.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

What's the name of your McAfee application (e.g., McAfee Internet Security,
a freebie from your ISP)?

The file did "arrive" with the IE8 upgrade, you downloaded the file
(possibly from netsync.co.kr or joos.co.kr/), perhaps
unintentionally/unknowingly.

Apparently McAfee Site Advisor disagrees with McAfee VirusScan:

IE8 Upgrade was from Microsoft update, option via security updates.
