First, the right-click scans for specific folders returns '0 items scanned' even if I do a folder with many files an subfolders. I also have a problem with updating. I have it scheduled to do a daily quick scan at 2:00 pm but this is not working. Today when I checked, it had been over 48 hours since the last def update and that update was done manually as well. Before that it had been 3 days. Is this something that would be easier done by creating a task to scan/update/upgrade?? I have been having issues as well.

Checked the wife's PC and she still has 1611. I will report any additional information I can find. For what it's worth, FileHippo has 1959 available for download.

I get a message saying I have the latest version already even though it is below 1.0.1959.0. Does this tip only apply to the 32-bit version or could there be another problem?

I sure hope it does it automatically because I've installed it on dozens of machines for home users. Yeah, do you have any documentation on why we need to upgrade?

Will it automatically notify the user of an upgrade that is available and install it for them? Why? is it a security risk or just a general time to update?
