Roxio MyDVD Basic v9 installer when I run any ActiveX Control in Excel.

Question

I built a pop up calendar to insert dates. It works perfectly except that the first time I try to run it after opening the spreadsheet, it launches an installer for Roxio MyDVD Basic v9. I always cancel it and the macro still works as intended.
Now, this wouldn't be a big problem if I was the only person using the spreadsheet file. Since I'm distributing this as a template to coworkers, I don't want them to freak out when this happens, so I'd rather just stop it from trying to launch Roxio MyDVD.
I've figured out that it has to do with the Microsoft MonthView Control I used in creating the macro being an ActiveX control. I know this because I can open up a new excel workbook, go to VBA and create a new UserForm. As soon as I place an ActiveX control into the blank UserForm1, the installer for Roxio MyDVD launches. I let it run its course, but it cannot complete the install because the "resources needed are unavailable" on our network. I'd rather not have it run at all. Understandably, our network security is pretty high, and I assume my security settings don't allow it. Since the function I use still works without this installed, I don't get why it keeps reaching out to get it. Nor do I know how to stop it.

Fixed it.
Attached is the complete export given by Microsoft System Information. It provides a lot of information and if you need more then let me know.
Luckily, it seems that MsiInstaller has been reporting errors to Windows while it flickers. You'll find these in the system report and they helped me track down the problems. The errors stemed from this:
Detection of product '{518930BE-7875-4547-B026-20B92F695781}', feature 'DataSocket.LVW71RTE' failed during request for component '{FC3E0B6E-F62B-11D1-B144-00C04F990B2B}'
For some reason, it was trying to install these things and it began to fail after the software was uninstalled because the keys it was looking for no longer existed.
I also found a lot of what looks like data c
orruption related to NIDAQ stuff in my registry. For instance, many of my Microsoft common controls (like TabStrip) contained a value named InprocServer32 within their InprocServer32 key that had not previously existed. As random as it looks, the value always contained the following string:
G!P5BM[^==)9LRdDWOXQDataSocket.LVW71RTE>j^8!E}1.(?​KY(JMzo[{A@-HK,BS+T93)NrWc5@!pDataSocket.LVW16>j^8​!E}1.(?KY(JMzo[{A
Note that the same string "DataSocket.LVW71RTE" as in the error is contained in there.
Also, deep in the registry there was this key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ins​taller\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\EB03981557877454​0B62029BF2967518\Features
...that appeared to contain all sorts of gibberish. I have attached an export of that key as well. For example, the value ActiveX.LVW71RTE was set to:
J$YfbexG-?m!AbH6US{*Msu*X]isJ9X{tiy(&XkvRun_Time_​Engine.LVW71RTE
I can't tell you what was the exact cause of MSVC6 always trying to install these thing
s and, for all I know, that "gibberish" is actually meaningful, encoded data but deleting those whacked out keys has eliminated the issue.
