    Do you get the same issue if you start Windows in safe mode or perform a clean boot?

  • Starting in safe mode and running a system restore made the problem go away, hopefully for good. But that didn't really answer the question. I'd still like to know, in general, if there's a way when system-level warning/confirmation dialogs like this appear, to determine the identity of the program that's causing them.

    Searching "CE_UmbrellaCert" on the net returned very few results, and not much information at all. Should the problem reappear, consider using Process Monitor for further insight.

  • It's fortunate your friend didn't allow the software to install a root certificate. I didn't discover a program that I installed on my wife's system at her behest had carried with it adware that installed a root certificate that allowed the adware to monitor all HTTPS as well as HTTP traffic on the system until afterwards when I observed anomalous behavior on the system. I hadn't even received a warning about the installation of a root certificate by the GenuisBox adware.
