class ID (CLSID)

A universally unique identifier (UUID) that identifies a COM component. Each COM component has its CLSID in the Windows Registry so that it can be loaded by other applications.

Prolly not registered.

Registry Entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID = Value Entries

Specifies a name that can be displayed in the user interface.

The CLSID is a 128 bit number, spelled in hex, within a pair of braces.

Don't worry about it.

*** Many thanks for the info,it is good to know that is not harmful,it came in with a In-CD-4.3.11.1.exe upload which Microsoft re-directed from In-CD,so when the bug buster picked it up I got a bit concerned.
