Here http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/ap... writes ADOBE about a security upgrade, which is not detected by Secunia. After running Secunia again, the update comes up, with same US-version as in another post. |

Try this: start 'check for updates' in the Help menu of your current version and you should get a download for 9.1. I just successfully up- graded my 9.0 Dutch to 9.1.

If all you need Adobe for is to read PDF files dump it & use Foxit reader. I found this link posted by Maurice Joyce in another thread http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-10108272-12.h... check it out. This program is a whole lot smaller in size & in my opinion just as good or better than Adobe reader.

You probably did update it's just that PSI is detecting remnants of the old program. To locate the exact file that the Secunia PSI has detected, please follow these guidelines using the advanced interface: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ * Click on the entry of the program to “expand” it. * Click on Technical details to see the installation path of the detected file. * Remember the installation path and close down the menu. * Click Open Folder and locate the detected file. You can then manually delete these remnants-reboot-rescan & hopefully all is well.

I followed your advise with success using the Advanced Mode for assistance. It seems that I had Adobe Reader 9 in two locations and Secunia wanted me to choose one. I had forgotten an earlier Adobe update in a different folder on the same drive. I deleted the one location that Adobe didn't put the most recent update and Secunia gave me 100%.

I was having the same problem as everyone else, but I, hopefully, may have a solution to try. I tried to run the patch-no luck. Even though the program read v9.1.1, Secunia still showed 9.x I tried to run the update from the program itself, same results. I deleted the file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader9.0\AcroRd32.exe, then patched. Same results. I uninstalled Acrobat Reader, then reinstalled Acrobat Reader, and it was still showing the same file as the culprit. I then uninstalled Acrobat Reader, and then went to Windows Explorer. There I found the same file (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader9.0) has been left behind, after the uninstall. I deleted the file, then reinstalled Acrobat Reader. The Reader installs v9.1.0, so then you install the Update to v9.1.1. Rescan, and its fixed. Hopefully, this will be a solution people can work with. |

Hi, Recruiter. That was the trick (deleting the Adobe file from C:\program files\Adobe). The strange thing is that the file that Secunia is "pointing" to (AcroRd32) still has the version 9.1.0.163 although Secunia is now indicating that it is updated. Anyhow, at least it works now. | ||||||||

Yes, I show the same thing. If you open the program though, it will show v9.1.1, and apparently, Secunia is now recognizing a patch file (I assume). |

The program was showing version 9.1.1 after the initial update but the file that Secunia points to (AcroRd32) did show and still shows version 9.1.0.163 which is what's confusing. In any case Recruiter, we got Secunia to recognize the update! Good call on your behalf. | ||||||||

I have had the same problem of the scan not showing this upgrade and the folder/file link going to the AcroRD32 file shown as v9.1.0.163. I have no other "residual" files. I opened the Reader "help" file and "about" - in the menu - showed as v9.1.1 ; so I used the "repair" facility in the "help" menu and now Secunia tells me I'm updated to v9.1.1.179 - of course the RD32 file is still v9.1.0.163. Hope this "easy" fix works for you. -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

I'm confused here! I have installed the update, restarted and then rescanned. *Adobe reader states version 9.1.1 in it's About Box in Adobe Reader. *Add/remove programs reports version 9.1.1. *File version of AcroRd32.exe in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader directory is 9.1.0.163. *Secunia initially detects the above file as insecure on a new scan as version 9.1.0.163. *If you use the Re-scan program button to check Adobe reader after a full scan, it then changes its mind and reports version 9.1.1.179. Obviously something is not correct! I reckon either Adobe has failed to update the version string of the new AcroRd32.exe file or Secunia has a bad entry in it's definitions, as that update is definately applied. |

In my post of 14/05/2009 (above), I did not mention that my using "re-scan" also failed to accept the update ; hence my trying the "repair" facility in the Reader help menu which did work & the scanner immediately updated , automatcally no less. I have noticed that in in my C:\programfiles\Adobe\Reader9.0\Reader folder - where several AcroRD32 files are lurking with versions from 6.0.0.0 through 9.0.0.0 to the latest 9.1.0.163 - there is also a "pmd" file which says it is a security certificate and , in my case , it's time of creation seems to correspond to the time of my updating to 9.1.1. I'm only guessing ( & most definitely with no techie knowledge ) that the Adobe patch does not update the AcroRD32 files & Secunia has to "read" the patch elsewhere - maybe via the "pmd" file. Who knows. -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

Sorry Anthony Wells, but I think I have to disagree. I checked my Adobe folder, and my pmd file is dated 5/12/04. In my case, if you open the Reader folder, each of the File folders has a recent date on it, corresponding to the update. And, if you delve further, the plug_ins and plug_ins3d folders have recent files included there also. Like yourself, I'm not too much of a techie, but based on the dates of the folders, it seems this may be what Secunia is looking for in its scan. My only confusion is trying to find the individual file or files, with the correct date on it, within these folders. I haven't spotted it yet. On the other hand, as long as my scans show I'm up to date, "let sleeping dogs lie". |

Fair comment Recruiter , but you said a few days ago that you did a clean re-install of v9.1.0. , I didn't so I still have the "old" Adobe\Reader9.0 folder , I even have an "extremely old" Reader8.0 folder. Their files date to my time of their install or their time of creation. I too have different(earlier dated) security certificates but the only file that I could find that dates to my time of update to v9.1.1. was the one I mentioned - not to say that I haven't missed the one that may matter. Who knows what the Adobe & Secunia guys plot for us ?? As it's a lovely , hot , sunny day here , the dogs can sleep for as long as they like. Take care. -- It always seems impossible until its done.
