Default Bug is secunia online scanner

I have the most current updated version of Adobe Reader on my PC. Version 9.1.3. When I do an online scan with Secunia. It notifies me that I have an old version 9.1.2.82 installed and need to update to 9.1.3. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the same message. I am fairly certain this is a glitch in the secunia scanner, as I posted in a thread at the MBAM forum http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/i...howtopic=20545
and a few other users also get the same error. Anyone else getting this?


ps. I have sent an email to support@secunia.com notifying them of this

Why don't you install the offline scanner? Not saying that may necessarily fix the issue but it is more thorough/efficient anyway.

Jim is right. Install the offline version of Secunia PSI. It is more updated than the online version.

See this thread:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/free...erability.html

keroffs reported different results from the online version, and the desktop version. Seems the desktop version is more reliable.

Further, it may take a little time for PSI to be updated. JRE 6 update 15 is just out... and I installed it today. After that, I scanned my PC with Secunia PSI, but JRE still shows unpatched, and has a link to vulnerability article which is dated July. So, they still have to update it for JRE.

It used to show vulnerability in Firefox 3.5.1, but it has not been showing after the latest update of Firefox 3.5.2.

Thanks for all the replies. I installed Secunia PSI on my PC and it is sounding the all clear
