I use VLC media player. PSI shows it to be patched to the latest version. However the plugins are reported as being insecure for all 3 browsers I have on my system. Can someone tell me what's going on? AMD Turion 2gb ram 80 Gb hd XP SP3 Last scan 4/25/2011 @ 1500 CDT |

Hi , If you read the indicated threads carefully , you will see that only Firefox and any other browser which uses the Mozilla/NPAPI plug-in is actually vulnerable to the insecurity ; hence the "Mozilla" plug-in is not selected at the "default" installation settings . There is no need to uninstall the VLC PLayer , just do not change the installation default setting for the plug-ins if you do not know what you are doing . Take care Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
