Hi, Well, if Secunia would state it doesn't know about current versions, I could live with it. In this case it states that v2.21 is up to date. Well, the current version is 2.51!!! Okay, this program is not a security risk, indeed. But Secunia PSI is, if it tells me my programs are up to date and they are not! Shall I uninstall Secunia PSI? Is there more information about such errors? Regards |

Hello. Secunia is not a general updater....it,(Secunia) informs you of security threats/vulnerabilities. Updates that are for bug fixes/cosmetic enhancement...that don't make a program any more secure.... are not included. Regards, -- |

But the other way round, Secunia notified me of an update for Free Download Manager, while the program itself did not (3.0 Build 848 to Build 852). So I guess it was not so relevant. Regards |

Hi , Just to add to the info from Mogs , according to the FileHippo download changelog 3.0.852 contained security updates ; must be what the PSI was telling you :- http://www.filehippo.com/download_free_download_ma... Take care Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
