PSI point to RealPlayer v11.0.0.674 as been unsafe. So looked around real site and see there is a update they class that as v11.1.3 so immediately there is a difference in coding. 2. I download the upgrade and install hoping there may be an improvement in its security - per chance. Only thing is the v11.0.0.674 is still showing in PSI after re-scanning. umm ...... 3. I launch the software and yes it has been upgraded it show v11.1.3 build 6.0.14.955. umm..... ummm....... 4. I check the properties of Realplay.exe in the Real/Realplayer folder todays date is the modified date - not surprising. But Version info shows the same as PSI v11.0.0.674 (date created 23/12/2008). (Thing that caught my eye was that the copyright in the file properties was 1995-2007 and not 2009 as shown within the application.) BUT ... here's the crunch .... LAUNCHING Real directly from the file gives me the v11.1.3 build 6.0.14.955??? ummm.... ummm....... ummm... 5. I noticed earlier in the posting by hovhow "2 unsafe programs... (?)" he reported a similar problem. Doing a clean install solved the version problem but its a bit of a pain if we have to do that. 2 QUESTIONS ARISE a) Is there a way of forcing the "properties" info for the file to change (I assume it is an oversight on Real's part or a Win issue on some upgrades)? b) Does PSI recognise the real version when it scans the files? ------------- Athlon 2200+ 1.8Ghz/1GB Home XP (SP3)
