You are probably dealing with a third party install e.g. anti virus,game, something you have down loaded. This program is using a platform that has become vulnerable and thus the warning. Do what you are advised by Maurice and locate who or what is using that program. It may be that you need to update with that program,run a scan and see if it corrects it. 2. you may have an incomplete uninstall of a program which secunia is finding partial files of. 3rd You may have to remove the program entirely from add/remove and if it is a program you want, then create a ignore rule. |
