Trying to do "Install solution" for some of the programs but its not working at all any ideas? when i click on the application downloaded nothing opens up

Is should open the dowload link for the program update in your default browser. What is your default browser?

Try exiting Secunia then:

Start> Run

then type:

RUNAS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Secunia\PSI\psi.exe"

Then it will run with admin rights. Also check your AV/ Firewall to see if it blocked anything.

Google Chrome is my default browser,
Secunia is running as Admin and when clicking install solution anything an example being "Adobe Flash Player 11 x (ActiveX)" then this is downloaded - Screenshot by Lightshot - but when running the downloaded application "Flashplayer 15.0.0239 Active X SPS.exe" nothing happens even if runned as an Admin. Do i have to do something specific that im missing or something? I tried just launching it by double clicking it and also trying Run as Admin but nothing opens up or happens after that

Well if you're using Chrome to download did you try copying the downloaded file to your desktop, exiting Chrome and exiting Secunia, then running the downloaded file?

The thing about Chrome is that it uses it's own built in version of flash player so try updating chrome first and it should also update the flash player for Chrome.

If Secunia still detects other old versions of flash player afterwards you can try other methods of clean installing flash player.

Try updating the other stuff too - Java and the rest.

Sorry about the delay in replying. Needed sleep.

If you click the "+" sign next to Chrome in the Secunia PSI scan report it should show you where old versions of chrome are located and you can delete them manually. For a better explanation read this:

Reboot after removal of the old versions. Open the Secunia PSI once more and for anything still showing up as out of date - Double click the program in the Secunia Psi window and a new window will open up with more details. Choose to rescan the program. Let us know if anything is still showing up as out of date when you've done this.



Don't worry too much about flash player. Just get Chrome sorted out then we can sort out any flash player leftovers.

Re: iTunes - sorry but I know nothing about it as I've never used it. I'm guessing that it's similar to Chrome in not removing old versions when updating. Perhaps you could post another question and get help from iTunes users. On the other hand if you've got the up to date version installed then it should be okay.

Re: PDFxchange - is that the free or paid version?

Yes, try to sort out your Chrome installation so that the old files are removed. If you don't need pdfxchange and it shows up as insecure just uninstall it.

As for using Ccleaner to uninstall flash player - it will not get the job done. There's a dedicated removal tool from Adobe along with some detailed instructions that should be followed exactly including the final step which is a reboot.

Dedicated Flash Player Removal Tool

Note: Close all browsers before running the tool. Also close Secunia PSI if you've got it running.

If you'd rather use a script to delete the leftover files and folders you can use this and run it as a script from UVK like you did before. (Save to desktop and rename with .uvk extension)

UVK Remove Flash Player Leftovers.txt

Edit: You'd still need to run the Flash Player removal tool before running the script. I didn't make that clear.

Once removed - reboot and rescan with Secunia PSI.

Unfortunately there's still more to do but one step at a time is best.

Also, would you run this script (using UVK) to remove some Avast leftovers?

UVK - FixList Avast.txt

Download and rename the attached file with the .uvk extension then run it as a UVK script.

Will you also look at C:\Program Files for a zero byte folder named 005 and confirm that it's empty?

Thanks.

Here is C:\Program Files - Screenshot by Lightshot.
Iv run the avast uvk script, manualy removed chrome by deleting old_chrome and used the dedicated flash uninstaller going to run the uvk flash uninstaller now after i reboot and do a scan

So after doing the Adobe Uninstallers and rebooting it is still showing up in secunia but google chrome isnt showing up anymore - Screenshot by Lightshot .

EDIT

did a rescan with secunia heres what is shown - Screenshot by Lightshot
