Hi Guys, I've just had Secunia PSI , which I use, tell me Openvpn 2x needs updating, click to do it.No idea what it is;
What is it, I cannot find it in all programs, and I've googled it, it seems to be similar reading as the Heartbleed "?
Is it cosher and nescesary, as I clicked to update via PSI, and nothing happened? If so, where do I get the update from, or which version I'm using?

    Using Avast? It's a false positive. You need to remove SecureLine.

    Go to Add/Remove programs, select Avast Antivirus, choose Remove/Change and then Change. Click Continue.

    Remove tick by SecureLine, press continue and let Avast make the change.

    Of course if you pay for the VPN ignore above.

    Hi Dogmaryxx;
    I just downloaded a windows update, and the update for vpn has been done, according to PSI.100% mark again.
    I've done what you said, after windows update.
    I've never come across it before, or what it is:
    So you are saying it's to do with Avast?
    What's secureline? Is it SSL , similar to the Heartbleed security, used by Avast, and it's not required?

    It's just a premium VPN service offered..

    Open Avast user interface.

    Tools / SecureLine.

    Cheers.It's strange how the easter offer for it expires tomorrow.
    Didn't know what it was, presumed the tick meant it was activated.
    Coincidence or what?:-):beer:
