PSI detects insecure application Microsoft Word 2003, 11.0.8227.0 So Download the solution... Security Update for Microsoft Office Word 2003 (KB956357) Install the solution... @ office2003-KB956357-FullFile-ENU.exe Dialog box is displayed - The expected version of the product was not found on your system. So Microsoft will not patch this program, and PSI still thinks its insecure. What's going on here? |

Skip the download link for now. go to windows update, and find the link towards the top that offers to upgrade to Microsoft update. Follow the steps on screen and use microsoft update to patch your office install. If the office updates fail after that let me know and I will provide more help. -- Asus P5QC, 2.4Ghz Intel Quad Core, 2Gb Ram, XP Pro Asus EeePC 4G Surf, 2Gb Ram, XP Pro |

Thanks for suggestion. Office 2003 SP3 has already been installed from file downloaded from Ms Check current versions of Ms Office 2003 programs Excel 2003 (11.8231.8221) SP3 Word 2003 (11.8227.8221) SP3 Run Ms Update (which is already installed) - says Office 2003 SP3 is available OK, so let Ms Update download and reinstall SP3 Recheck current versions of Ms Office 2003 programs Excel 2003 (11.8231.8221) SP3 Word 2003 (11.8227.8221) SP3 As expected, version numbers have not changed as programs were already at SP3 revision level. Secunia PSI re-scan, says programs have not changed, still Insecure. Appears to be a Secunia BUG to me! |

There are many updates to office on top of Office SP3. Go visit the site until there are no more updates, and then rescan and let us know what you find -- Asus P5QC, 2.4Ghz Intel Quad Core, 2Gb Ram, XP Pro Asus EeePC 4G Surf, 2Gb Ram, XP Pro |

Thanks for assistance. Problem fixed Ms Update was not recognising that Word 2003 was already at SP3 revision. Reinstalled Office 2003 SP3 Auto Updates, Ms Update, then installed required patches. Thanks Secunia for highlighting problem! |
