I've just started having the same issue. I had been checking my console with some frequency before this popped up looking for other issues, so I know that this is new. I also noticed Comcast in the post above and I myself have just signed up with Comcast and reluctantly ran their installer. ...after which I spent some time trying to figure out what it did and how to undo it all...

Perhaps Comcast's mysterious installer has something to do with the issue?

Anyway, I ran the keychain repair and some Air related items were repaired, but the messages persist. I'm about to try editing that property list.

I don't think I really need Air for anything so I may just remove it entirely.

This is a known issue that we're working with Apple to resolve.  Could you try the following steps to see if they help reduce the amount of messages?

1. Open the Keychain Access application (/Applications/Utilities)
2. Select the menu item Keychain Access -> Keychain First Aid

3. Select the Repair radio button, then click Start

Thanks,

Chris
