its not a bug or anything.
It is supposed to do that. What it is doing is getting news and updates from the Creative website. When you perform a LiveTask the updates appear in a small news box....

If you have the sb then I would lean to the Creative speakers which are made for their cards.

It should be in add/remove programs. If not do it directly from explorer or from device manager(not the best idea though)
