Says I have programs needed to be updated but it will not load.

I've never heard of it...

The Secunia PSI explained
The Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) is a free computer security solution that identifies vulnerabilities in non-Microsoft (third-party) programs which can leave your PC open to attacks.

Simply put, it scans software on your system and identifies programs in need of security updates to safeguard your PC against cybercriminals. It then supplies your computer with the necessary software security updates to keep it safe. The Secunia PSI even automates the updates for your insecure programs, making it a lot easier for you to maintain a secure PC.

Using a scanner like Secunia PSI 3.0 is complementary to antivirus software, and as a free computer security program, is essential for every home computer.

Has it worked well in the past?
Give us as much information as possible.

Yes it worked about three weeks ago but not now.

Downloaded, installed and ran Secunia PSI version 3.0 and it immediately popped up the error:



So I uninstalled it.

Tried Version 2.0 instead, (the download lnk is on the right of this page) and it's working fine. It updated Apple QuickTime and Adobe Shockwave Player.

2.0 worked. Thanks SpywareDr. But how do I delete End-of-Life programs which says they are easily hacked?

[TFSP]

Solved the problem of deleting End-of-Life. Clicked on End-of Life program. Right clicked on +. Click on yellow folder without red dot. That opens Windows Explorer showing vulnerable file. Right click on file and delete.

You're welcome. And thanks for the tip.
