Hi,
Funny little bug..
Screen-Shot: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5779/psibq4.png
Looks like the counter is off by 1. Notice there is 1 insecure item, which happens to be a false positive of adobe flash.
Still, it should report me as insecure with 1 insure item.
cya,
Will |

On your screenshot it shows 1 insecure item, but right above it says "6 minutes ago". Did you remove Flash less than 6 minutes ago, and did you run the Adobe Flash uninstaller to remove it?
If so, click on the insecure item and click on "Rescan" and that should correct the list. |

Nope, did not remove since it is a false positive. All I did was a scan 6 minutes before and then noticed that it says I'm secure even though 1 insure app maintains.
I just thought it kinda funny because it seems to be a common programmer error. Often times the programmer should have used a zero instead of a 1. |

Haha - that is funny!
I think it is a calculation bug in the psi:
227 / 228 = 0.9956 - rounded it gives 1 or 100%
Nice catch :-)
