The steps to fix this problem are as follows:

Gateway

1. Edit a registry entry by running a program called regedit. Right-click on it and Run as administrator. Note that I use Start8, by Stardock, to have a Start button and menu. After you left-click on Run as administrator, your computer might ask you to enter the admin password.

Anyconnect

3. Double left-click the DisplayName key.

An Edit String pop-up window will appear.

The text under the Value data: field on my computer looked like this.

by removing all the text and characters that are on the left of the word Cisco.
