bermary

For the last week or so Secunia has been flagging up the above as being out of date and I have tried everything I know within my limited computer knowledge to rectify this,why is this please

Never heard of Secunia - a quick Google suggests it's some sort of security thing for your PC??

There are several more 'known' ones that you could use (AVG/Avast/Bitdefender) and remove secunia.

The title of your message has no relevance to the message that I can see, am I missing something?

Not sure what you mean by cd since Acrobat Reader is a free download from Adobe. Have you tried updating AR ... 'check for updates' should be in the Help menu.

It will be secunia PSI (personal software inspector), it compares your installed software to that which is listed in their database and informs you when there is a new version which has security patches for vulnerabilities, it's nothing to do with anit-virus.

Personally I'd ditch the bloated insecure adobe reader for the svelte sumatra reader:

I'm guessing "Acrobat Reader DC" rather than "CD", as this seems to be the latest incarnation.

Personally I don't like the 'DC' version but Adobe do seem to be pushing folks to update to it.

Me neither: I tried it, it's far too complex for everyday needs, stick with Adobe Reader XI.

You may never have heard of Secunia, but they provide enterprise-level solutions and are extremely well respected in the industry. I'd certainly prefer their products (even PSI) ahead of any of the consumer-level solutions that you mention.

Well, if they 'provide solutions' then they must be good :rotfl:
