Just got this:
The plugin Upgrade Notification by Email noticed that at WordPress server is available newer version of blogging software than this, which is installed at PluginsPress.com. Please upgrade it in your admin panel. You have abc and newest is 2.8.4
Well, I'm running the most current version. What's up?

Now I'm getting the same notice from my other blog. This plugin is sort of pointless if it sends notices just randomly...

Sounds like this is happening (taken from the FAQ):
= I've got newest version but plugin sends me notifications, which says that i have installed wordpress in strange version 'abc' =
This is caused by plugin WP Security Scan. Deactivate it or look into its code and deacctivate this place, which changes variable $wp_version into string 'abc'.
yes, this is problem with wp security scan and afaik wp security scan cause this problem with all plugins which refers to wordpress version number.
this you can see also in other plugin: Ze's Admin Update Notification
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/zes-admin-update-notification/
as is described there, please do:
To made WordPress upgrade notification working you must comment out this line in wp-content/plugins/wp-security-scan/securityscan.php :
add_action("init", mrt_remove_wp_version,1);
Upgraded from WP 2.9.2 to 3.0 successfully.
3 days in a row, *NO other plugins activated except this one*, this plugin emails me and says that I am still running 2.9.2.
I am not. WP is clearly version 3.0. I even browsed the FTP directly to make sure all files were correct date stamp.
Please advise.

I am not running security scan and I still get emails every day. The plugin email message states my version is 2.9.2 but in fact it is 3.0.
The Plugin information page states "Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress." and further "Requires WordPress Version: 2.0.2 or higher Compatible up to: 2.8.4". Since it has been 279 days since its last update I'm going to assume the author has not looked into compatibility issues with 3.0
