As U are aware beta versions can be buggy & this sort of thing can happen. I would try a complete uninstall of both programmes.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled DIVX with my internet security enabled and again with the security teporarily paused but the vulnerability persists. I was reluctant to uninstall the latest version of Firefox 3 in case I lost all my add-ons and plug-ins with their relevant settings but I wonder if I have any choice or whether Elmo succeeded in resolving his problem. -- bobevan

I uninstalled all DIVX program's in add/remove. Than There was still (under Vista) in the Start\program's a DivX software bit that needed to be uninstalled by admin rights. After that there was no DivX software left, still after clicking in Secunia the problem was not gone. I clicked on the button "open map"and it opened a map in Firefox with still 3 DivX related files, I renamed the extensions of these 3 files and than Secunia called victory! I did not dare to install DivX again... -- Ms Windows7 32bit \Notebook HP 6720s\1.6Ghz\3GB\CIS 5.x\ Asus Notebook A8\ Win8 64bit\1.9Ghz\8Gb\Cis5.x\

Provided Firefox behaves itself over the next few days I would be tempted to delete the 3 renamed files - reboot & reinstall Divx. At best U will get a nice player back fully secure & at worse U will know which programme is causing the grief. I suspect something went wrong on the update of Firefox. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM

Score: 0 Posts: 2 User Since: 1st Dec 2009 System Score: N/A Location: N/A	I am having the same problem with the DivX Web Player 1x DLL and Firefox. No matter how many times I downloaded the update recommended, it still finds a problem. Finally, I uninstalled all the DivX program parts until there was no mention of DivX on the program list. Rebooted the machine and updated Secunia as suggested. Ran a rescan, and there it is again: "DivX Web Player 1.x" threat rating of 4. Am beginning to wonder if it is not a glitch in the Secunia scan, and not DivX? Any other suggestions as to how to get rid of this problem?

Score: 0 Posts: 2 User Since: 1st Dec 2009 System Score: N/A Location: N/A	Thank you Maurice. The installation path is: c:\\Program Files\DivX\Web Player\npdivx32.dll Apparently, not all of the DivX programs were uninstalled by Microsoft uninstaller. There are still some files left. Computer Hope.com says that file is a Firefox plugin, and is safe. Why does Secunia recognize it as a threat? Should I delete the file, or will that make a mess for other programs? Thanks for your help.
