seconia made changes in ms programs . i can't undo your changes.
who do you think you are cutting out sun java platform, ms visual suite etc.
YOU made changes and deleted programs i spent weeks installing.
i unchecked the two boxes inseconia menu . i hope it does no more.
there was no warning or notice it would do that, no choice, it just did it.
i get the IT newsletter.
i will need help spreading the word

What are you talking about?

The psi doesn't change anything - only the person in front of the PC does that.

I recommend you getting your facts straight before jabbing on about something like this...

Good grief - I know the Global warming "experts" have predicted climate change would affect the four traditional weather seasons. I was not aware that April Fools Day had arrived!

An old British saying comes to mind "Do not play with the big boys toys if you have no idea how they work"

What U experienced can of course happen - improper use by the PC user of the DELETE or REMOVE button normally has the wonderful satisfying effect you describe.

First, only an amateur would post his phone number in a public forum. I suggest you edit this out.

Second, Secunia OSI and PSI do not change anything. PSI has links to solutions which involve actually downloading things and running installers. All of which require user actions. Do you click on everything on the Internet? Maybe that is why this happened. I am sorry you had a bad experience, but it was you, not Secunia who took these actions.

solved problem --2 little check boxes deactivates scan
but looks like it cant scan without changes, patches.
especially to sun and visual studio --
secunia should have more options

dear maurice
thanks for your reply. indeed i posted too hastily.
i unchecked the 2 little boxes to deactivate secunia
it should have options to patch programs like
sun and microsoft visual studio, dotnet.
i'll try to get my bpost back off of the forum
i intended to secunia itself, not the forum exactly.
