Secunia keeps telling me that I have an insecure program - Opera - but I removed that program from my computer months ago. When I go to my Add/Remove Programs application, Opera is no longer listed. Why does Secunia continue to "detect" a program that has been removed? Jsackett -- JamesS |

What file path does PSI give you? 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.

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:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe, version: 12.00 6. Right click on that file & select delete. 7. Carry out a full PSI scan & all should be in order. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |
