Yesterday, I installed the new Safari, 5.0.4, reported by the browser itself as 5.0.4 (7533.20.27), on my full patched Windows XP SP3 laptop (details below). However, PSI is reporting it as 5.33.18.5, not recognizing it as 5.0.4, and so reporting it as insecure, and offering an upload. The safari.exe and safari.dll in C:\Program Files\Safari are both reported by Windows Explorer (right-click file, Properties, Version) as 5.33.20.27, which agrees, I think, with 7533.20.27. I can't see where PSI is getting 5.33.18.5 from, though it reports this as the version of C:\Program Files\Safari\safari.exe, which doesn't agree with the 5.33.20.27 above. I don't think this is a Zombie issue, as the Safari.exe being reported is the installed one, and I've searched and there are no other copies of safari.exe on this machine anyway. I did try humoring PSI and doing the update anyway, but of course as it was 5.04 over 5.0.4, it just asked if I wanted a repair, or whatever. I even let it do a Repair; nothing changed, which is hardly surprising. Finally, nor do I know whether, if PSI could see the 5.33.20.27, it would know this was actually 5.0.4 and all was OK, or would still think it an error. PSI, can you please look at this, as it's driving my score down to 99%, where it should be (as ever on this machine) 100% -- A computer program can do anything the user doesn't know is impossible for it to do.

Hello M_V , Support are busy elsewhere atm and don't do weekends anyway on the PSI . The PSI will display the version number it finds in the meta data ; so it is likely to display 5.0.4 as 5.33.20.27 and the previous version you have updated would logically correspond to 5.33.18.5 . ; there is a similar anomaly in The Open Office display when there are build numbers added to older platforms , but the generally used number appears to have gone up . Which version of the PSI are you using ?? I'm guessing 2.0.x as you mention "zombies" ; the latest version is 2.0.0.3001 ; go tray icon right click and select "About" . The "insecure" version of Safari should show at the top of the "Scan Results page" ; do you have the updated version showing alphabetically lower down the display ?? What is the detected instance pathway of the insecure version (click the [+] on the lhs of the/any programme) ?? EDIT : have you rebooted and run a full system scan since updating ?? Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

M_V: Yes, 2.0.0.3001 The "insecure" version of Safari should show at the top of the "Scan Results page" ; do you have the updated version showing alphabetically lower down the display ?? What is the detected instance pathway of the insecure version (click the [+] on the lhs of the/any program) ?? M_V: Only on the scan once, and the pathway is as I quoted in my first posting above, the main path for this program. EDIT : have you rebooted and run a full system scan since updating ?? Anthony M_V: Well, I thought I had; but I did one before replying here, after checking the above, and all is well now. Safari.exe is shown as version 5.33.20.27, the PSI is happy, and I have 100% once more. Certainly, though, I did a rescan on the issue previously, and that wasn't enough to clear it, though the full scan has done.
