The first scan found an old Yahoo Messenger version 8, that was right. I updated this program to version 9 (german version), but PSI always reports version 8. The reported .exe is in that path the new version is installed. |

did you try to reboot.
sometimes exe/dll files cannot be really replaced without rebooting.
if this does not help let PSI do a full scan.
tell us it it helps. |

1. after reboot: single scan didn't find the correct version
2. after full scan: correct version number found - and an old Internet Explorer and a XP SP2 it didn't find at the first time.
The scan seems not to be perfect. ;-) |

One problem solved !
A new problem to check for...
Look at the location where PSI found XPsp2
If it is a source dir (i386) you could put it in the ignore list...

Oh, the IE and the SP2 were installed! I never had updated them (now they are), because I had read about trouble of sp3 installation and I never use the IE.
But the first full scan did not found them. It is far less than a problem - it is just not perfect. |
