Unknown Mac App Store Update

This morning I start up the Mac App Store and see there are 2 updates available. One for an application I know I have, the other for an application I do not have installed on my system. Clicking "Update All" spins and does nothing. It looks to be attempting to download the update for the application I do have.

When I manually click on the application I do not, to see what is going on a App Store login comes up with the email address "***". I have seen another post saying this is due to installing non authorized Mac App Store applications but I have never done that. In fact I tend to be very careful about what I do install so I'm not sure whats going on.

It has this update for this application, not installed, never was and will not either go away or process the real update. I have restarted, cleared out the cache.

OS X 10.7.3

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

I have to stick up Dah*veed. He has been right in 2 cases for myself.

Apps that appeared: Apps causing issue

Nyan Cat lost in Space Worms: Special Edition

Codebox Galaxy on Fire 2

In both cases removing the apps that caused the issue removed the eroneous apps that had caused me frustration for so long.

Thank you Dah*veed for your support. I recommend anyone who is having issues with the above apps to check whether they or another user has downloaded Worms or Galaxy onto their device and to remove the app.
