I keep getting a insecure warning for IE8, with no fix/resolution available. If there is no fix, you shouldn't keep flagging me. What can I do about it? After several months of this, users will tend to ignore this and possible other real warnings... |

The IE8 warning is real , it is a browsing problem (if not critical) and you need to be aware of it and use safe browsing techniques - use them anyway. A "real" insecurity warning is hard to miss - even with my old eyes. -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

I agree it it is a real problem. I'm just afraid that a non-fix warning pop-up during every reboot, over several months, will distract users from real fixes that are actually available. (I have old eyes too.) Maybe some sort of color-code, or no pop-up will solve this type of notice... | ||||||||

Changing the "warnings" and using colour codes have been raised before on peoples' wish lists ; I'm not sure where they fit on Secunia's to do list ?? -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
