Q: Not installed software requires update through Mac App Store
Dear Experts
I have had Lion and later updated to Mountain Lion with no issues and happy about that. The below issue existed in Lion as well as in Mountain Lion.
Issue is that, I don't have the "Angry Birds" software installed in my machine any time (to what I remember!). But whenever I open my App store for update - I get to see that the machine wants to update the software "Angry bird" and looking to enter a password for an apple id which I never known anytime.
When I click on update - system asks me to enter the password for a apple id which is not mine.
The above apple id is not mine.
When I look for the installed softwares with the name "Angry Bird" it does not exist - as shown below
The spot light search also does not show any software with the name "Angry Bird" installed.
Please advice on how to remove this item from the machine.
Thanks
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion

If you seeing someone elses information as in the Apple ID then you may want to report that to apple directly.
As for what to do you should try signing into the app store with your ID and Password and the problem should go away.
The bigger question is why are you seeing someone elses account info.
I would imagine that this would happen if you donwloaded a hacked version of angry birds.
But since it is not on your computer then I don''t know
Another possability would be someone logged into their App store account on your computer.
