Hi,
Secunia PSI has detected an insecure version of MDAC. I am not sure how to patch/update it. My attempts to update it via the MS website has been unsuccessful. Can you please help?

Installation Path:
c:\i386\msadox.dll
Thanks Preemo |

You should always update your MDAC as well as everything else on your PC. However, since it is in your "i386" folder, I would believe it should be safe to create an "ignore rule" in the PSI keeping it from showing up.
Found this page after searching for the i386 directory on google:

Hi,
I am in the same situation. Secunia PSI - Final Version has detected an insecure version of MDAC.
I can’t patch my version,
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.x
Version
2.50.4403.4
Installation Path:
C:\Office\FILES\OSP\1033\FILES\PFILES\COMMON\SYSTE M\ADO\MSADOX.DLL
but I have another version patched under the patched header.
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.x
Version
2.81.1132.0
Installation Path:
C:\Programfiles\Commonfiles\System\ado\msadox.dll
My system is
Windows XP Professional
SP3
Is it possible that my file is in a backup location or was installed by a third-party program,
not Microsoft, and I should ignore it?
I also have the same problem with 6 more MS files
The following are deemed insecure under:
c:\Office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE10
Microsoft Access 2002 10.0.2627.1
Microsoft Excel 2002 10.0.2614.0
Microsoft Frontpage 2002 10.0.2623.0
Microsoft Outlook 2002 10.0.2627.1
Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 10.0.2623.0
Microsoft Word 2002 10.0.2627.0
But I have patched versions under
c:\Programfiles\MicrosoftOffice\Office10
MS Access 2002 10.0.6845.0
MS Excel 2002 10.0.6847.0
MS FrontPage 2002 10.0.6845.0
MS Outlook 2002 10.0.6838.0
MS PowerPoint 2002 10.0.6842.0
MS Word 2002 10.0.6846.0
Should these also be ignored?
Thank you so much if you can help.
Happy Thanksgiving
Pawtricia
