I use Windows XP Pro sp3 (full updates) and Google talk doesn't update and toolbar.google.com downloads the build I have. What can I do to fix this issue please? |

I have let it run 3 hours and also tried to install it manually. Still shows the old version.... Any ideas? Also I went to talk.google.com and it just give me .104 - not 105. I think Secunia is giving me a false report... |

Not sure what your problem is. I have tested the install using PSI version 3 BETA 3 & PSI version 2. The install works perfectly as U can see from my PSI scan result below where version 105 is clearly showing.

I have Windows 7 64 bit version (6.1) with all the updates. Using the download link provided by secunia psi beta V3, I get the following file: GoogleTalk_1.0.0.105_SPS.exe When I attempt to install it, it prompts: "This version requires Windows 2000, XP or 2003; you have 6.1." "Would you like to exit or continue the installation anyway?" I took the continue option and it seems to be working fine. The only other option aborts and does nothing. Kind regards, Bradley |

I was prompted to update Google Talk today on my Windows 7 x64 system. The installer said it was not designed to work for my OS. I went to http://www.google.com/talk/index.html and downloaded the client from there and it was the same 1.0.0.104 version I had before. The version that downloaded from the "run manual update" was GoogleTalk_1.0.0.105_SPS. This appears to be some kind of error since Google has not released a new version on their site yet. In PSI 3.0 it does not appear I can ignore this detection either. That feature really needs to be re-enabled for 3.0. |

Hey Charles, I am having a issue with Google Talk as well. PSI stated that it was unsecure and that there was a patch to download, so i downloaded the patch and ran it, it said that it was designed for another type of system would i still like to run it i put yes, it installed a new version but the new version has absolutely no "Send Files" option, so i uninstalled it and downloaded again from the Google website, which gave me the other version back i had previously, but it took my score back down to 99%. Im at the moment just gonna ignore that patch for Google Talk as it apparently doesn't have all the features of the current one and i know other people who are having the same issue. |

@tguerrette You can ignore a program with the latest version of the Beta. Right click the program icon to reveal the option. I can confirm that the download from the Google site is 104. Also, it installs in Appdata rather than Program Files for Vista or later unless you use this procedure: http://support.google.com/talk/bin/answer.py?hl=en... This might cause some problems for automatic updating. As Maurice said, Wikipedia states the latest version is 105 dated 2007. -- This answer is provided “as-is.” You bear the risk of using it. |

Hello , Using the "download" link for Talk on this page , I get Talk version 1.0.0.105 and if I look in the Program Files folder (after default installation) see there is is a version 1.0.0.107**** upgrader.exe file in the folder :- http://www.google.com/talk/intl/en-GB/index.html You will also see there is the Google Chat plug-in which , I think , tends to supersede Talk . ****NOTE : The Secunia Advisory 48448 for Talk 1.x (classed as "less critical") is here and it says that version 1.0.0.105 is vulnerable ; so you at least would be advised to go with the 1.0.0.107 upgrade , as mentioned above , even if it is not specifically noted in the SA :- http://secunia.com/advisories/48448/ Sorry , I do not have the time to look further for you ; you should try Google Help if you need more stuff .

I've just had a look at the original vulnerability report. http://retrogod.altervista.org/9sg_gtalk_uri.html As far as I can see the 105 version is only available from Google International sites. It also appears that 104 is not actually vulnerable. The vulnerabilty only exists if 105 is installed onto a system with 104 installed without manually uninstalling 104 first. The download from http://www.google.com/talk/intl/en-GB/ includes the upgrader file. I can't find a US English version. If 105 was never offered to US users, they could safely carry on with 104. That must be the reason Google have not updated the US download. -- This answer is provided “as-is.” You bear the risk of using it. |

Hi ddm , If you look top right of the Google en-GB download page you linked to , you will see a language choice which gives you an English GB or US option . The US option downloads version 1.0.0.104 from Google Inc. which would seem to confirm your US 104/International 105+107 theory . No way that I can see the PSI handling this detection correctly . EDIT: Bradley , Just to be sure , to be sure , it might be wise to make sure you clean out the Talk folder completely and then (re)install 104 en-US or 105/107 en-GB to choice .

Then I assume the Secunia upgrade notice for .104 in the US is false. If I do flag it as igore, will Secunia PSI still update when the next US version isavailable? | ||||||||

Okay, I did a clean uninstall and removed the folder and registry entries too (with ccleaner). Then I downloaded the US version from the google site as you specified and it is 1.0.0.104 and installed it. I set the ignore feature as suggested by ddmarshall and all is well and happy now.

Google Talk 'should' update itself automatically. However, Google do seem to be encouraging alternatives. For example, the Google Talk Forum is now locked. -- This answer is provided “as-is.” You bear the risk of using it. |
