xjklt	PSI 3 hangs after scanning

Ranking: 4 Posts: 25 User Since: 6th Mar, 2009 System Score: N/A Location: N/A	2 Issues with new PSI 3 1. PSI loads and scans and retrieves information. Screen shows all programs in list but all say " Staus............examining programme". PSI does not proceed further but hangs on this. 2. If I try to go to forum the error screen pops up saying "unable to locate appropriate web browser, followed by "would you like to use internet explorer?" IE 9, v9.0.8112.16421, update version 9.0.9. Using fully patched Windows Vista Home Premium. I have checked IE9 is default browser. Thanks

My problem started after uninstalling version and 2 and upgrading to version 3. Running Win 7 (64-bit) Home Premium. After initial scan, program hangs in the screen reporting status of programs with hour-glass cursor and remark that system is examining program. Directions offered in link did not solve my problem. I did notice, however, that in the "Services" section of "Administrative tools" that ""Secunia PSI Agent" is listed and set to automatic but there is no listing for "Secunia Update Agent.' Uninstalling and reinstalling also did not help. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Long time Secunia user but frustrated with this apparent glitch in new version.

Now gone back to PSI2 but having issues with it not finding browser. End result is it sorta works in that it will scan and inform. Such a pity after years of trouble free use of PSI products.

That, almost certainly, is the issue. All required services should be installed and set correctly during installation of the PSI, unless the installer is somehow restricted on the system. Please make sure that no other security programs are restricting the PSI while installing, and that you run the installer with full administrative privileges. Later changes on the system can of course also modify the settings of the services although it can be hard to track down further what causes it. As for not being able to find a browser, please send us a software suggestion and make sure to include your email address so we can send you a reply: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal...

Score: 165 Posts: 491 User Since: 24th Nov 2008 System Score: N/A Location: Copenhagen, DK	Thank you all for the information you have provided. We are currently looking further into the issues and I would like to ask those affected to do the following. Please go to your PSI folder. Do you see a file called sua? (or sua.exe if your settings show the file extension) You should also see a log file in the same folder called psialog (or psialog.txt). Please send that log file to support@secunia.com. That will help us troubleshoot the issue.
