It appears that Secunia complains that version 6 has reached end of life, while I have download the required remedy . Secunia still complains. I have seen another program is needed to accomplish this. What is it's source? why is it needed? and maybe it's time Secunia take a hike, as this occurs far too often to be of assistance, it ls more a pain in my a**. |

Why do U want to shoot the messenger? All PSI does is reads the meta data on your PC & reports it's findings to U. Many have complained about the frequency of the version changes made by Mozilla. Protest to them & then remove the offending browser. Not sure I fully understand what else you are talking about. If U have End of Life programme installed it is best practise to remove/replace it with a secure version. If U have a vulnerability we need to see the Troubleshooting report to really help. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

HI , To add a little more , Firefox version 7.0 is a security update and so Ff version 6.0.x is "insecure" as well as "EOL" and would best be deleted ;- http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilit... If you want to be safe and secure when surfing , better to try and at least keep your browser(s) up to date . That is the advice that the PSI is trying to give you ; take it or leave it , it is entirely up to you . Take care Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
