Secunia continues to give me a false "negative" in relation to the program It tells me I need to upgrade to V 2.0.1. I am alreadt running this and have bben since the release came out. -- I keep getting a false positive. I am being told to upgrade my VLC player to 2.0.1 It was upgradecover 2 weeks ago. System has been rebooted numerous times since then. |

It is not a false positive if U have remnants of an old version installed. What does the Troubleshoot Report say? FINDING A FILE PATH USING PSI VERSION 2 From the DASHBOARD page click on SCAN RESULTS. 1. This will list all your programmes with a + to the left of each programme. 2. Click the + sign next to the item that U want help with. 3. This will reveal the path under DETECTED INSTANCES. 4. Below DETECTED INSTANCES you will see this You can double click this row for additional information & options>double click it>a box will appear>look to the RIGHT & U will see TROUBLESHOOT REPORT in BLUE writing under the heading TOOLBOX> click TroubleShoot Report & it will reveal some information in a box>highlight the information revealed from ---START--- to ---END--- & copy it (CTRL+C) then post it to the Forum (CTRL+V) Update 21 11:47 28/06/2012 -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 SP1 16GB RAM |

It does not matter which version of PSI U are using. What path does PSI give U to the vulnerable file it has found? -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 SP1 16GB RAM |

Hi Maurice, I've to apologize the "false" positive turned out to be correct! A third party application has an old VLC version included which is correctly qualified as outdated. |
