Hi, I am using DisplayFusion Pro (3.4.0 Beta 3) with Windows 7 every day and I am really satisfied.

I use the auto-update feature and I noticed, that after a new version was downloaded, DisplayFusion is closed, Installer is started with UAC prompt for elevated rights, then the updated DisplayFusion is started by the Installer.

DisplayFusion is now running with elevated rights, which is a possible security risk, because every program started by DisplayFusion (Start menu or Taskbar shortcuts) runs with elevated rights too - without the user being asked or informed. I am in the local administrator group, I did not test with a normal user where the Installer UAC asks for username/password of an administrator.

The problem lasts until next time DisplayFusion is re-started (reboot etc.). I always close and re-start DisplayFusion manually after an auto-update to avoid it, but not every user is aware of this. The problem is common to many other programs, but here it is more severe as DisplayFusion starts other programs.
