Red 1 on App Store icon

Suddenly I have a 1 in a red dot on my App Store icon on my dock. What is this? How do I remove it? This red dot does not appear on the App Store icon in my apps folder.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.6), Also use a PC with Window XP

It means you have an update of a purchased app waiting to be downloaded.

Once you download the badge will go away.

The badge only appears on the App Store icon in the Dock.

Kind of like the new message badge on the Mail application in the Dock.
