Secunia PSI reports Category 4 threats for these programs:
* Microsoft Office Groove 2007 - version 12.0.6421.1000 installed
* Microsoft Visio 2007 Viewer - version 12.0.6513.5000 installed
* Microsoft Windows Vista - Service Pack 2 installed
Each of the Direct Download links point to Microsoft Update, which reports no missing patches for any of these programs.
If I click on any of the Threat Rating links they all refer to Microsoft Products GDI+ Multiple Vulnerabilities (http://secunia.com/advisories/37007/), but the patches referred to in that page are already installed - at least they claim to be if I reinstall them.
Please could anybody confirm the correct versions for the above applications?
Before anybody asks, the system has been rebooted several times to ensure that all installed patches are active. Both Windows Update and Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser confirm that all Microsoft patches are installed. |

I can confirm the Visio Viewer as secure.
The file I checked was VVIEWER.DLL which is 3663KB dated 5/8/2009.
There is also been something about Groove on this Forum from Secunia but I cannot find it.
I would contact them for clarification. The link is:

Hello!
As this is the third time now I have apparently
the same false-positive-problems as described by
others here and once again someone recommends to
write an e-mail to Secunia - does this mean that
this forum is not read by Secunia?
(unknown source)
I would contact them for clarification. The link is:
support@secunia.com
By the way, because of former replies to such
false-positives: The 'problems' vanished after some
time, although there were still no other MS-Updates
available - therefore I am rather sure that these
were false-positives and Secunia corrected the tool
days or weeks later.
Cheers!
Bernd Leutenecker
