@rt_garrett, I also have this issue with SUPERAntiSpyware, in particular, the Tech Version (Portable).
In the Tech Version, everything is contained within a .com file, and the update process, which must be run first (if out of date), downloads a new copy of the .com. The update process then executes this new .com file. Techware might be moving on when it sees the update process terminate, ignoring the fact that a new version of the file has just been launched....just guessing here.
I can't comment on the "Normal" version of SAS.
