After uninstalling and reinstalling the latest Adobe Reader 9.1, the advisory still reflects this site as a category five threat. After reviewing the Adobe Security Information, it indicates that 9.1 is totally safe. I have also restarted and rescanned Secunia PSI (simple version) and it still reflects the same Adobe threat(s). On my other computer (Dell) it does not list any threats, although the same Adobe products are downloaded on it (Reader, Acrobat.com, Flash Player (IE only) and Shockwave Player). Is there a problem with Secunia reading the updated Adobe information that I've just installed today? |

Probably no problem with PSI but with Adobe. After installing updates all the old files were not deleted or overwritten & PSI is detecting them also. 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 had the same problem, PSI still displaying a threat after updating, but after trying advice to change to Advance then highlighting the program and checking the show folder, I found that it was picking up the progam in my backup, deleted this and now 100% | ||||||||

I have found at least on two different occasions, when I updated Adobe Acrobat reader, the update also installed **new** out-of-date versions of some other programs, either adobe air or something else. Presumably, the download from Adobe is a package, and you may be getting some good stuff and something else which is already out of date. Re-scanning is a good idea, after doing an update, to see whether or not any attached downloads are out of date. | ||||||||

Hello, Maurice!Several weeks ago,after reading one of your advices on this subject ,I've decided to download Foxit Reader,without renouncing Adobe Reader, though.I would say I didn't find it as good as Adobe9.1;it seemed to me rather simplistic ,so to speak,without some good "utilities" the latter has.But what do I know!You are the greatest authority for me ,regarding IT-subjects and I couldn't argue you, ever! But I wanted to give this feedback about Foxit.(Am I crazy for liking this Adobe9.1 stuff which,by the way, gave me a lot of trouble when I needed to update it from 9.0 to 9.1;love hurts,indeed!).My best wishes for this spring to you,Maurice, and to all you Secuniards ,there! -- meintower |

@meintower No - U are correct. If U like something stick with it. I do point out that Foxit is,in my view, better for those who just use it in the basic mode to read emails etc. My real point is many web pages say "to read this document U need Adobe Reader which can be downloaded from here" and the provide a link. This is misleading - U need a PDF reader & Foxit will do the job. Foxit does have many plugins if U want them - the downside is some are on repayment. Hope U had a nice Easter break. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

I'll try to help you with my current experience. It's correct that the last version in March was 9.1. Earlier this week there was an update to 9.1.1. Try the following: open Adobe Reader, click on Help, click on search for updates. I assume that then the update to 9.1.1. is shown. I hope your problem will be solved. Further advice: switch psi to advanced mode. This gives more facilities. -- PC: JJ Computer Services Intel Core I3 2100 3.1Ghz DDR3 Kingston ValueRam 4GB 1333 Windows 7 Home Premium 64bits SP1 Secunia PSI 3.0 v. 3.0.0.6005 Internet Explorer 9 Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1NL Laptop: MSI GT780DX Intel Core I5-2450 DDR3 RAM 6GB Windows 7 Home Premium 64bits SP1 Secunia PSI 3.0 v. 3.0.0.6005 Internet Explorer 10 Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1NL |

In my situation, that I wrote about earlier, Acrobat Reader opened up as v9.1.1 after going through all the update steps. I even tried using the Help>Update menu to run the update, but Secunia still kept coming back with a threat found. My way around it was to uninstall Acrobat Reader, then in Windows Explorer check for any remnant files for the Reader under Adobe, not the main Adobe folder, that may mess up your other Adobe programs. Next reinstall the reader, that installs v9.1.06. Then install the update. That will bring you to v9.1.1, and Secunia should be OK. | ||||||||

Berny , I too have a "Reader8.0" folder. Windows has taught me one thing - if it ai'nt broke , don't fix it. Although Adobe & Java can be (very) lax in removing "old" files & folders , unless Secunia or some other reliable security updater tells me to do so , I tend to leave well alone ; unless I'm doing o complete/clean uninstall when I go after anything I can provoke to show it's head - beware touching the Registry if you ever wish to re-install a program !!. Beware anyway !! Looking at the files in my 8.0 folder they don't seem to be a problem either way. Take care, Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

Hi! I tend to agree with Anthony Wells. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". If Secunia PSI doesn't show a problem, don't look for trouble. On the other hand, if you run PSI, and it shows that Adobe has a problem, and you check the path that is insecure, 1st see if the Upgrade or Repair mode in Adobe's Help tab takes care of the problem. In many cases it will. In my situation, nothing helped, so I had to Uninstall and Reinstall Adobe. Check the link below for the steps I had to take, to fix the problem. http://secunia.com/community/forum/userthreads/936... I think you'll find, between the 3 fixes (Upgrade, Repair or Re-installation), you should be able to fix the Adobe problem. |

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. Good luck & regards. wr |
