Secunia reported that I still have Flash 9.x installed which is incorrect. I have been through the process of using the flash uninstaller and reinstalling. Secunia reports the file being found in these 2 places. c:\Windows\SysWOW64\NPSWF32.dll c:\Windows\System32\NPSWF32.dll But when I actually try to view the file, it is not there. I tried deleting in cmd prompt (del c:\Windows\System32\NPSWF32.dll) and same thing: file not found. Tried to even use regsvr32 /u with same result. I can see hidden files, and system files are not protected so if it is really there, it should show up.... but it is not. So now I am wondering if Secunia is stuck or if it is telling me the wrong path? Any help would be appreciated. Using: Vista 64, latest SP Logged in as admin |

My NPSW file in WIN32 is in the ->Macromedia ->Flash folder ( not the Adobe folder ) or try checking which folder your updated version is in & see if v9 has files in there - and/or try using the open folder link below the installation path. -- It always seems impossible until its done.

"My NPSW file in WIN32 is in the ->Macromedia ->Flash folder ( not the Adobe folder ) or try checking which folder your updated version is in & see if v9 has files in there - and/or try using the open folder link below the installation path" Do you have a C:\Windows\system32\Macromedia*\Flash\... Folder *or Adobe folder ?? Have you used the "open folder" link found below the "installation path" in PSI ?? -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

I'm not sure why it thought it was located there. But this is how I fixed it: I recopied the old dll into those folders and then let Secunia rescan them (it said they were insecure obviously). I then deleted them and now Secunia correctly sees that they are gone. |

Nice call. At least you got rid of the "incriminating" evidence by "applying logic" !! It also points up the difference between my old XP and Vista64. Take care -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

Well it was in the other places that you said earlier, but the Adobe updater fixed those :P Just the 2 places I listed earlier were having issues with Secunia. Thanks for trying though :D |
