      Howdy! Ben,              I am puzzled maybe You can shed some light on what I see on this XP pc       or someone else can.              Several days ago:              I DoubleClicked on the WinPatrol icon on the Taskbar of my Limited       Users Account, then Clicked the Plus Tab and clicked the Button to       see if there was any Update to WinPatrol.              The page said I was using WinPatrol version 31.0.2014.0:31.0.2014.0              and the newset version was WinPatrol version 32.0.2014.5:32.0.2014.5              I downloaded the latest version.        and of course I had to Install it as       an Administator, so I used Run As and installed it.              I checked the new WinPatrol Setup file for Malware and it passed the       scan test with Avast! and SuperAntiSpyware, when I RightClicked the       file and selected those two scanners.              When I RightClicked the file and selected a Scan with Malwarebytes       Malwarebytes started up with the usual screen but it never went to       the Scanning that I wanted MWB to do.              I went ahead and installed the new file since it had passed two out       of three of the scans.              Of course I had to install it using Run As to use a Administrator       Account to do the job, since WinPatrol doesn't allow it to be installed       from a Limited Users Account.              The Yellow icon changed to Green in both the Admin Account and the       Limited Users Account.              When I got done using the computer I set it to Hibernate.              The next time I turned the XP box on the WinPatrol icon on the Taskbar       in the Limited Account was Yellow.              I DoubleClicked on it and the Plus Tab said I was using the Older       version so I Reinstalled the file I downloaded again and checked and       saw I was using the newer version and I had the Green icon again.              The past several days I have done the same Reinstall over and over.              So tonight I decided to go to the Admin Account and Uninstall WinPatrol       using Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs option.              I Logged Off the Limited Account and Logged On the Admin account and       I saw the WinPatrol Icon was Green, and when I looked to see what       version it was by clicking on the Plus Tab I saw it was the newest       version.              So I Logged Off the Admin Account and Logged back On to the Limited       Account and saw the Yellow Icon was still there.              Not long ago I started the XP box in Safe Mode and ran Malwarebytes       Chamleon (SP?) and it didn't find anything wrong.              Lots of head scratching going on here so I thought I'd write about it       to see if You or Anyone Else can show some sympathy for my situation.       Thanks for Reading.              ...
