One last question on this subject, sorry :-)

>> It shows as pending because the installer tried to overwrite it but it was locked (protected). Then Windows rebooted, replaced the file but WFP restored it to its original version.

Does this mean that every time any software is installed in future, the OS will give the message "The System needs to be restarted...." because that pending file will never be cleared??

(and if so, should I try to do anything about it?)
