I installed 1.1.5, the version of the listed file is 1.1.5, but secunia still claims, it is 1.1.4 - even after rescanning it several times. ------ Program Name: VLC media player 1.x Security State: Insecure Download Link: http://ftp.secunia.com/vlc-1.1.5-win32.exe Instances Found: C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe, version: 1.1.4.0 Last System Scan (localtime): 19.

If this is a recent update, it might be that Secunia have not yet updated their rules - despite giving download link to latest version. It may be be just a case of waiting - they only review this forum and address PSI issues Mon - Fri. Your thread should have brought this to their attention. Alternatively, you can use "Program Missing: Suggest it here" from PSI tabs (v.1.5.0.2). TiMow -- Computing is not yet a perfect science - it still requires humans. |

@Flyhard , Version 1.1.5 is correctly displayed by my Beta PSI 1.9.0.5004 as up to date . Do you have more than one version displayed by the PSI ?? Have you rebooted and run a full scan since you updated ?? have you followed the path of the detected instance to see if the .exe file is a left over file ?? My detected instance is :- Program Name: VLC media player 1.x Security State: Patched Download Link: http://ftp.secunia.com/vlc-1.1.5-win32.exe Instances Found: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe, version: 1.1.5.0 Last System Scan (localtime): 19.

Slightly different issue here. 1.1.5 installed and detected (status: patched) after scan however in "secure browsing" I see "VLC media player 1.x" showing as "unpatched". Double click drill down into that item and the status of "patched" is shown vs. the main VLC exe. Maybe rules for detecting secure browser are lagging a "main" rules set? |

Hello SteelyEyed , Two points of note :- A programme showing as being "fully patched" in the "patched/results" page does not mean that there are no un-patched vulnerabilities , merely that you have done all the patching you can do ; see this thread for more discussion if you are not sure :- http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/650... The secure browsing "problem" is one of the few PSI "false positives" and Secunia explain why here :- http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/613... Hope that is clear .
