I just tried to update this thread http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/130... but found it locked. About 24 hours after I posted there I re ran the updater but got impatient & X'd out. Then this past Tuesday evening,I re ran it again & once it started scanning,I went to bed. 5 hours later I checked it to see it was bouncing between preparing to update & updating. I went back to bed & checked again 4 hours later & as I watched it saying the same thing, a box popped up saying the server was busy. Sorry folks, if I have to wait 9 plus hours for a program to tell me nothing, I don't need it. According to Secunia PSI my pc is 98% secure. Since my pc runs excellent , I'm going to remove the F-Secure thing it says is out of date & not be concerned it finds Firefox out of date although I know factually it is the current version. Thanks for your help & have a great day. :) |

Threads auto lock after 7 days of no activity. The important thing is what path PSI gives U for any given problem. U may be up to date with Firefox but also may have an old file still present which is vulnerable/End of Life which requires action. 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) VERSION 3 This version does not have such an easy method to publish the path. Open PSI>once open select Show Programs. U will now see a page full of programme icons or a list. Right click on the programme in error>select Show Details - that will open a box showing the path & version number of the offending file. U now have 2 options: 1. Write down the exact file path & install version - return to the Forum & type that information. 2. Take a screen shot & publish that.

PSI or a vendor install will never update that - U are using or have used a backup programme called ERUNT. It can be safely deleted. DELETING A FILE OR FOLDER VERSION 2 1. Open PSI>Scan results. 2. Against the programme marked as vulnerable is a + sign to the left of it. 3. Click that & it will reveal DETECTED INSTANCES. 4. Below that are two yellow folders. Click the one WITHOUT a red dot. 5. That will open Windows Explorer & U will be able to see the vulnerable file. C:\WINDOWS\ERDTN\cache ver. 9.0.1.4371 6. Right click on that file & select delete. 7. Carry out a full PSI scan & all should be in order. VERSION 3 Open PSI>once open select Show Programs. U will now see a page full of programme icons or a list. Right click on the icon that represents the programme in error>select Show Details - that will open a box showing the path & version number of the offending file. Double click on C:\WINDOWS\ERDTN\cache ver. 9.0.1.4371 That will open Windows Explorer & U will see that file. Right click on it & select delete. Run a full PSI scan & the problem should be resolved.

Pleased to see U are all fixed up. On that basis, I will lock this thread for U sometime tomorrow unless U post back asking for it to be left open. This will protect your mail box from possible update emails from "tag on" posts You can of course lock threads U have created. Just click the ACCEPT button in the post of the helper who offered U the best solution/advice to solve your problem.

So do I but I understood your UNREAL word & did not comment! "About 24 hours after I posted there I re ran the updater but got impatient & X'd out." I assume YOU will be looking elsewhere for assistance on your next problem or hide the issue as you were going to do in this case - I will certainly not be offering my free time to help. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |
