PSI 2.0 does not recognize that I have the latest version of Google Chrome installed.

I have rescanned several times, and it flags the program as "Insecure", but "Up to date". It says the installed version is

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, version 20.0.1132.47 (Business)

but the installed version is

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, version 20.0.1132.57

Everything works fine, but it is annoying and keeps making me think something's not right. I saw another post about a different program with similar problems for which it turned out that the old version was in some backup folder. That is not the case here. The new version is in the correct place, which is the same place it says the old version is.

Google do not not remove the old version during any update.

If U cannot remove it via Control Panel>add/remove do this:

1. Open PSI>Scan results.

2. Against the programme marked as vulnerable is a + sign to the left of it.

3. Click that & it will reveal DETECTED INSTANCES.

4. Below that are two yellow folders. Click the one WITHOUT a red dot.

5. That will open Windows Explorer & U will be able to see the vulnerable file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, version 20.0.1132.47

6. Right click on that file & select delete.

7. Carry out a full PSI scan & all should be in order.
