I have downloaded and installed this upgrade several times and Secunia still shows a Category 4 security threat. I have done this on both Win Vista Home Premium (SP1) & Win 7 (RC) with the same results on both. How can I make this threat disappear?

Question answered! PSI found it in an old backup file. Updates don't update an archived backup file, do they?!? Dumb me. Thanks, Big Dave, . I guess I'll have to eliminate the old BU file to stop the threat alerts. Thanks, again.

No they don't, they can't really - the installers just check for the program that is registered on the system.

Usually checking the paths is the easiest way to troubleshoot such issues.

But glad you solved it. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!
