Someone asked me this same question awhile back about another issue. I must confess to not understanding why the question has to be asked (at least without the inclusion of a suggestion, which gives it a different feel). I end up feeling like I have to justify why I want to do it prior to getting an answer. I have no problem with the question itself, but when it's asked alone, I just end up wondering.

Anyway, the answer is that the program has done an auto-update and must restart to run the latest version.
