(UPDATE) I have discovered subtle differences in the paths which indicates that these are duplicate installations, not a problem with Secunia. No anwers are necessary.
I've searched the forum for this, but was unable to find another user asking the same question.
Several of the programs that appear in the "Patched" list are shown twice. In most cases, the "Detected Version" is the same, but on one or two, different versions are shown.
Can you tell me why the same program would appear more than once and/or how to eliminate the duplicated entries?
Thanks -- I really appreciate Secunia PSI and the work done on our behalf. |

Hey CB-
If the programs are a backup, it will appear with the path to the backup. I have this same problem, but for a different reason.....
I have duplicate installs of MS Office on my slave drive because it used to be an OS drive. My actual, active MS Office is on my new OS Drive.
The copies on my slave drive show up as insecure because they never get updated (although they don't work either) and PSI actually reads the programs from the disks.
Also, if you expand the details under the program name, there is a statement there that says backups will show up and you can ignore them. |

I've reconciled just about all the duplicate entries by now, but thank you for taking the time to respond with the helpful information!
