MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.4 troubles...

I have just installed MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.4 and the following warning came up

System extension cannot be used:
The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/N-Mon.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. ( OK )

Help/advice please because i have no idea as to

who, what, where was that system extension installed ?

Or should I just trash it ?

LC520 (my first iMac 25MHz), 8500/SonnetG4, Performa 6360, QS G4, iMac 3.06GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Repair permissions and restart your computer. Reinstall the Combo and once again repair permissions and restart your computer.

A google search suggests "N-Mon.kext" is associated with a torrent downloader. Installed anything like that lately? If so, uninstall it. From your desktop hit command F and search system files for offending Kernel.

I'm having the same problem- how did you search for offending kernel? I hit command F but what do I type into the search bar after selecting System files? Thanks!
