Checksum Error on Internet Explorer

RalphMalph

Running Windows 8 and every time a browser updates itself I have to manually update the checksums.  This time I rebooted and I suppose Internet Explorer had updated and now the firewall says the checksum does not agree.  But even when I go into the checksum list and replace the app, the checksum does not work.  I still get the checksum error.  I have verified that I am updating the checksum from the app I am running.  I can't figure out what is going on that the checksum when running is not the same as the checksum Sophos gets when it is simply on the hard disk. 

Any idea how to troubleshoot this problem?  It is getting so that I don't want to reboot my machine anymore because every time I do Sophos firewall has a problem granting access to valid apps.

    In my first post, "I have verified that I am updating the checksum from the app I am running."  I opened the shortcut and followed the path to find the executable which I then added to Sophos.  That was why I renamed the app.  When I renamed it I could no longer run it.  So that shows I have the correct executable. 

    The checksum reported under Events is not the same as the checksum in the app list.  But I have no other way to add it than to use the provided tools which don't seem to get the correct checksum.  Is it possible that the executable is somehow modified when run so that the checksum changes?  The path being used is "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer". 

    I am using Firefox in the mean time and I have similar problems with Flash reporting a wrong checksum even after I have added it to the list and restarted the app.  I will check to make sure Flash exits once I close Firefox.
